I love reading your narratives and read this one three times to make sure that I absorbed it all! I laughed as much with the third reading time as I did the first! My sincere congratulations on your 25th wedding anniversary and marriage in an oval chapel.<br />Your dress sounds beautiful, as does the whole event with your original wedding party etc. Looking forward to seeing the wedding photos.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154076191981373564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-23980680965026019222014-10-18T22:54:00.870-04:002014-10-18T22:54:00.870-04:00This quilt is as awesome as you and David are!

Alone it was ok but with the other parts not so much. I can see really bright colors but blue green brown black blue purple are just dark. My father must have been color blind as everything in our house was brown. My son is also color blind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892795048904708312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-39198407175004076812014-10-16T13:15:18.919-04:002014-10-16T13:15:18.919-04:00I love your commentary and sense of humor!!

I've never heard of the Dr. Ives color chart but love your choice of colors for this striking mariner's compass. Am not sure, but did you or your husband choose these colors? Doesn't really matter - it's great. I don't think I'd let my husband choose mine - all he would pick was blue, tan, and gray!Nedra Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12713288647355250747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-80380198555465975382014-10-16T08:51:52.754-04:002014-10-16T08:51:52.754-04:00What wonderful CONTRAST , what a wonderful story a...What wonderful CONTRAST , what a wonderful story and your wonderful sense of humor jumped off the page.

It was a good lesson though. Don't let anyone else discourage you from your course in quilting or anything else in life. I almost threw this piece into the trash, glad I saved it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892795048904708312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-26352000878878810512014-10-16T00:26:48.172-04:002014-10-16T00:26:48.172-04:00If it is ok with you I will post a picture when we...If it is ok with you I will post a picture when we get them, just so you can see what a great fellow I have. I also want to say goodbye to Gloria Stabeno who we lost this week. At 88 she was a fixture at the quilt store. She taught me how to use a rotary cutter and rulers after watching me draw squares on fabric with a school ruler and an ink pen and then cut them out with scissors. She took me by the hand and introduced me to rotary cutters and real rulers. I will miss you so much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892795048904708312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-84009337999900672702014-10-16T00:13:02.557-04:002014-10-16T00:13:02.557-04:00Thank you Janet for the quilt and the stories.

I also like the idea of blaming anesthesia for fabric purchases.
