How wonderful you get to sew with your famly. My grandmother was a quilter but sadly she had Alzheimer's and passed away. I wished she could see my quilts. Never sewed with velvet, may have to try that. Everyone's project is beautiful!

How wonderful that you have so many quilting females in your family to share your talents with! Tell Colleen and Barbara hello from a MS quilter in Iuka. Barbara P.
