My business is professional machine quilting, (yes this is Ferret related). For you *non-quilters*, folks piece their quilt tops, or bring me great grandmas, to layer and finish the quilting. Right now, *Memory Quilts* are very popular. Photos transferred to fabric, embroidered sayings, hand drawn pictures on squares of fabric and put together for a quilt. The one I am working on now is of several high school friends that have kept in touch over the years. Lot's of family pictures, places mentioned, etc. 120" X 120" worth. This morning I came across a block, one photo is of a smiling older gentleman sitting on the porch of a small old house. Neat yard, fence. The saying written on the block is "Best friends don't always have two legs". The other photo is a sweet little ferret sitting in tall grass, looking up with *that look*. The block is signed, Andy and Clem, 1964. I have no clue who these dear ones are, but for Andy and Clem I am giving a couple of $$$ to SOS. They would like that. My own ferrets are meeting TLE's challenge too. They are giving $5 apiece. For those that have many more kids than I, maybe $5 per --------- (fill in blank) :) In Touch, Ardith Parris and The Kidd mailto:[log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 3568]
