I really appreciate the lovely comments you all are making. Great to "meet" you Jacqueline. I'll have to look for your librarian mysteries.<br /><br />Thank you, Laurie and Carole. Good to hear from you.<br /><br />Patricia, I've always found it interesting when people say needlework takes more patience than they have--because I've never felt that I have a lot of patience. However, I love doing needlework of various kinds and find it very relaxing.<br /><br />Lovely comments, Sandy. I hope you give Hawaiian quilting a chance some day.Annette Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389784078427673245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-61610452133984555242012-08-07T16:56:34.120-05:002012-08-07T16:56:34.120-05:00Love these quilts.

The shades of light and dark, the way colors change depending on other colors near them - seem to me to echo the way we get to know characters as a story unfolds.Sandy Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824301408180614516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-60675938248742223652012-08-07T11:18:44.926-05:002012-08-07T11:18:44.926-05:00I admire beautiful quilts so much but have never t...I admire beautiful quilts so much but have never tried making one.

So we share a publisher as well. Your mystery series sounds like a wonderful reading experience. I know very little about quilting but believe it to be a wonderful art form.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-1855235716327380402012-08-06T21:51:58.307-05:002012-08-06T21:51:58.307-05:00You're welcome.

It brings to mind Isaac Asimov's mysteries, which I loved. I will have to pick up some of your books as I am both a quilter and writer also, tho I have more UFOs than finished products. Not sure I followed the folding process above, but think I could figure it out since it's like the snowflakes we made in school.
