My Mom) has been quilting for 35 years - her first quilt being a baby quilt for me.  I remember my mom hand-piecing quilt blocks on the beach in the summers while she watched me frolic in the ocean, and the giant quilt hoop in her lap (usually with a cat underneath ...]]></description>

We met on Etsy years ago - Lynn discovered we were mutual "favorites" and reached out to me, and she has been a cherished pen pal ever since. A bit about Lynn: She works and ...]]></description>

Since he's a Pisces, I went with a fishing/nautical theme (it seems I'm not going to get over this theme anytime soon, but yes, he will be allowed to pick his own theme once he can talk).
