… as a Quilter

I have so much enjoyed my sister Emily living close by for a little while. She took a picture of a silage chopper they use in Texas to harvest corn.

    Looks like your sewing room is the place to be! So much happens there. I'm looking forward to getting to know Dana. I'm amazed at all the projects Emily gets done. I can sure see why Perry wants to keep the combine art. The wonky zig zag looks like a Kathy Doughty pattern.

    Oh! I love that tractor! The details are really good. Looks all thread painted. Do you have any county fairs ? She should enter it, definately would be a big hit and would win a ribbon.

    Wonderful piece your sister did. Are you all sharing one sewing machine? You must like each other a lot, if so!
