  9. Could you please tell me the title of the book where we can find "candy swirls"? It's wonderful block, but probably really hard to make:(
    Thank you for inspirations!

  10. Amazing quilts once again. I wouldn't even dream of making those swirly patterns, but I really loved the one with dark and light squares/triangles (5th of the finished quilts).

  13. I don't think I could join that guild, I'd be so intimidated by all those wonderful quilters! Of course, your own projects are so wonderful, you fit right in. That tiger is something else - so beautiful!

  16. It's so nice to see work that isn't all hurry up and finish. Hand sewing is relaxing and a wonderful thing to do while socializing with friends. Thanks for the show and tell.

  23. Thanks for the quilt show! I'm actually making that very first hand-pieced whirly quilt, but I got the pattern and templates from Australian Patchwork & Quilting like, 6 years ago! I have miles to go and of course, have totally lost interest in the repro prints I was using. Oh dear.
