It's very big in Sweden, and I'm sure you have heard of Elizabeth Zimmerman. I think she's going to be my Letter Z.<br /><br />A fellow vintage quilt collect, too. It just keeps getting better.<br /><br />Thanks for your visit.

That's quite the honor and I appreciate it very much.<br /><br />I'm a knitter, though both my grandmothers made sure I learned ALL the needle crafts. I've gone through "stages" where I've favored some over others...but at this point, knitting wins. It's therapeutic for me, and giving a handmade present that took hours and hours is a true gift of love, as I'm sure you know as a quilter.<br /><br />I do COLLECT antique quilts. I've also received some awesome ones as baby gifts for my boys and since they're 13 and 16, they're in "suck the air out" storage ;-)<br /><br />Tina @ <a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Life is Good</a><br />Co-host, April 2013 <a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/" rel="nofollow">A-Z Challenge Blog</a><br />@TinaLifeisGood, #atozchallengeTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115005019733614660.post-91248430585847401012013-04-12T16:36:51.367-05:002013-04-12T16:36:51.367-05:00I'm so glad to see you Leann, and I hope Sprin...I'm so glad to see you Leann, and I hope Spring has sprung at the Parsonage.

I do love Knitting, although I'm not as versed in it as I am in crochet and quilting, and a drawer full of socks without mates is a testament to not being able to knit more than one of anything.
