I love seeing all your recent finished--it's so fun to see these quilts come out from their hiding places. You are such a fine quilter and I love seeing your work!OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-43189215257094113822015-04-29T18:55:17.004-07:002015-04-29T18:55:17.004-07:00Hey, we're everywhere!

However, the last 3 decades have been spent in Brooklyn NY. I still miss Minnesota, but my parents and brothers moved to Florida and sister to PA, so don't get back there enough. I still remember walking over the bridge between the east and west banks of the U of M and looking down at the Mississippi River full of ice in the winter. The houses on our block were built around a pond, and after it froze, a snowplow would clear it so we could ice skate. Don't miss the 40 below too much, but this year our winter in NY reminded me of the good old days . Ya sure, you betcha. susan718https://www.blogger.com/profile/10281745184225186748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-13093145348707194932015-04-24T15:59:03.005-07:002015-04-24T15:59:03.005-07:00It is true.

So if you love your guy, you must love and learn to enjoy the state of Minnesota in the guy! <br />Terry is at the above mentioned cabin right now laying a foundation for a deck. He called this morning as sand dollar size snow flurries where floating down around him and it was 30 degrees! <br />I am completely in awe of the talent and gift of the Minnesot Hot Dish quilt. Thank You Thank You! It will probably provide warmth and grace to our cabin. <br />I hope some winter you and I can wrap ourselves up in that quilt and brave " the one inch from death" experience together. Because this California girl is sure she will not be able to without her favorite cousin, Cindy and our Minneosta guys.Cathy Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03801176409794701800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-67870367703378716572015-04-24T15:37:30.097-07:002015-04-24T15:37:30.097-07:00thanks for sharing photos of the cabin - looks lik...thanks for sharing photos of the cabin - looks like you had fun.

I'm sure he'd agree that the same saying applies to living in Iowa, which is precisely why we moved to Florida! The quilt you made for them is fabulous! I have no doubt whatsoever that it will be warmly received. Hope you make it back this summer and have a great time. It looks good, though it's a good thing we can't see those mosquitos.FlourishingPalmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191140553844000267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-28929202466804815282015-04-24T06:05:08.277-07:002015-04-24T06:05:08.277-07:00I so enjoyed reading this post!!

My Uncle built his own Shack as he calls it (which is stunning), also minus the indoor plumbing. I will say the out house is pretty amazing too! Your quilt will have a life long home! Not to mention being loved, appreciated and living in the perfect setting!
