Jet:  At first I did too....just looking at the bikini and dark hair .... but looked again, and saw differently.  Hey, are you a quilter?  I noticed you posted something about quilters potluck.  I dabble in it and have a huge interest in it and fabric.  

 
Hey, gunner....yes, i am a quilter. Have sewn all my life and found my real passion when I started actually learning the proper process since about 2000. Dabble in it earlier--in the '80s when they were promoting "quilt as you to". I don't know anyone (including myself!) who tried that and finished anything!! HAHA I'd love to share! Don't claim to know that much, but I'm pretty much doing something with it when I have a free moment or two. A lot of the good shops have gone out of business in SoCal the past few years. Was a great one in Redlands area called The Calico Horse. Not there anymore--and some others around the area. Couple good ones in Riverside area--and Monica's in Palm Desert is HUGE!

Do you have a particular area of interest? I love the retro stuff--fabs--like 1930s and Civil War. I could go on and on, as you can see.... Let's get together! Always love to meet new aspiring quilters! It is such fun!

Oh No....they are going to set up another quilters thread for us!!!  LOL.....The Calico Horse is still there in Redlands, but under new ownership and called the Painted Lady or something like that.  They don't really much of anything that I like.  They are heavy into Civil War fabrics.  Used to love those but I seem to gravitate more to the new exciting colors.  But, I do have a thing for 30's reproduction.  I am currently piecing a quilt in that right now.  Did you ever know the owner Debbie of Calico Horse?  Did you know she died...quite a while back.

Good quilt stores are hard to find.  None out my way anymore, I have to go to Orange County.  Have you ever been to Orange Quilt Bee on Katella in Orange?  It is really nice.  Also there is a real nice one in Yorba Linda but............the shop is now for sale!!

 
Well, maybe we have met each other in some quilt shop in the past!! LOL  I love Orange Quilt Bee and Calico House (Placentia)!  I know CH is for sale now.  What a bum.  I think they have gotten too big even though they are one of the best in the area.   Every been to any in SD?   I go down there a couple times a month to see grandkids and there are some nice ones down there.  Ever been to Rosie's down there?  The mother of all quilt shops!!  HAHA   The other one I was sad about losing was the Quilt Coop in Temecula.  It was dynamite as well....but gone.  I didn't know that Calico Horse's owner died and that it was recycled. 

I finished a queen sized (but with pillow tuck and overhangs) quilt with a bunch of appliqued borders called Calico Garden in 1930s reproductions about a year ago.  Still need to make the pillow shams for it but am using it on the bed.  I quilt all my stuff--don't send it out.  Mostly do it by machine but I love doing hand work so actually hand quilted another queen sized one that took me like 12 years from start to finish!!  HAHA  Spent more time waiting for the weather to cool off enough so I could stand to work on it--and it was waaaaay too ambitious for my level of experience at the time--but at least I got it done!! 

So excited that we have quilting in common as well!!   

Ok my dear friends....I have to turn in now...I know I know it is way to early for me, but I have an early appointment in the morning and if I stay up till 1am I will never get up....(this will be odd for me getting off this early) 

You all keep Maksyl World running smoothly till Gabriele come on duty...Hopefully we will see some indication that our couple have been "visiting" each other while in LA...you know Sam Smith is in LA too!!!  Could be special....(well I can dream you know)...

Well you all have a great night and dream about Maks and Val in Hawaii...
I will check in before in the morning if I have time or after I am home....
Hugs to you xoxoxox
