    Hello Mary Anne, I’m being introduced into the wonderful world of infinite patience and quilts, and found your website through Google. I was looking for an illustration of a show winner (the Tolkien Tribute, as I am a Tolkien reader myself) and see you have a gorgeous photo of both quilter and quilt. Do you think I can use it to illustrate an article in my blog? I really don’t like to just grab anything without asking permission when possible 😉 So please let me know.

    Looks like you were very busy. I think you ate at the same restaurant we did in Huston. We liked it so well we ate at Aquarium Restaurant (same company) in Denver. I also thought about the many states thing between East Coast and Out West and was impressed by the difference.

  4. Christy says:

    Awesome! we have been meaning to call! Jason wants to hear about your Houston adventure!

    Oh Mary Anne, what an absolutely wonderful trip! I think Tom earned both wings and halo and deserves a Kiss!! Can’t wait to here more live on Monday:-).

  6. MaryAnne says:

    Yes, we did do a session at the temple. Thanks for stopping by.

    Looks like you had a wonderful time. Tom is a great helper to volunteer to serve. Did you do a session at the temple? So many fun thing to see. The quilts are amazing. I am sure the pictures do not do them justice. Glad the little quilter is back home safe and sound.
