Red Hots-Shown in Magazine
R. E. Wicker
love with the cover. On page 48+ it is shown in entirety and I do
believe it will be fun to make. I like those shades of red.
I did finish making the place mats and a few round center pieces and
napkins to match all. So with the 40 mats and several center pieces I
am indeed ready for Christmas. I had found a sewing box of my
Mother's (she died in 1980 at 84 years) and she had some lovely laces
so I made two extra white back ground place mats and trimmed them with
the special lace and sent them to Creston, Iowa, to my 92 year old
sister Dorothy. I heard back from her husband via e-mail that they
loved them. That made the whole tiring process worth the energy.
She's older than I am, as in April I will be only 88 years.
On April 2nd 1922, my mother was giving a tennis lesson on the court
by Dick's store in Killduff, Iowa, and she went home to make my dad's
lunch and birth me instead. In the years that passed I never learned
if my Dad ever got his lunch. Such an omission.
Anyway, there it is. I drove to Fargo in the head rain storm
yesterday for cardiac rehab and then picked up my Janome machine from
Blow's where it was cleaned and in shape after all the embroidering.
After I fancy up a few finger towelswith the linen left over from the
napkins I will get down to the pulling all reds out of my bins of
materials and see just how "red hot" I can make this new quilt
project.

I haven't seen the BH&G magazine, but I think I'll look for it at the store
today. If you go ahead with making it, be sure to share it, okay?
You made really good use of your mother's laces, and it's terrific that you
shared them with your sister. Such a good feeling to know she (they)
appreciated them.
Neat story about your mother giving birth! I hope that one gets passed on to
future generations.

Your new quilt "Red Hots" quilt project sounds wonderful! I'm going to
see if I can find the picture. And I can't wait to see yours.
Whew! 40 place mats? You have been BUSY! So nice you made the special
place mats for your sister. Do you have any pictures of your place mats
by any chance?
Best regards,

Oh wow, Rhoda! My mom and I just finished looking through your quilt
gallery. You have some really gorgeous quilts in there. You've got a
great eye for color and layout.
"Prints Paisley" especially caught my eye. Fabulous!

The mats sound wonderful. I must look up that quilt, too. Hmmm... red
quilts in the sunset...
