opheliaspins: I <3>: "Thanks! I have 4 more to do...the first project is just a wall hanging. Then the backing is going to be green...and I'm going to do some fancy quilting stuff (haha yeah good terms) in green thread. I can't wait until my bed sized quilt.
I was SOOO excited tonight during class when I sewed them together. I'm really bad a like...measuring and doing anything straight...so I was very VERY excited when my points where meeting up. I'd love to see some of your quiltling stuff. I'm offically obsessed. It's def. a good thing though, since I've been collecting vintage material with no clear purpose in sight.
There's something so classic and good about the shoo fly block. I love the pattern it makes when you place blocks next to each other."
We all know how easy it is to get obsessed by quilting :)

New quilting store in Oxford
The Oakland Press: Opinions: "By LARA MOSSA
Of The Oakland Press
A dream deferred has become a dream come true for Dianna Griggs. The Orion Township resident opened Aunt Nan's Fabrics on March 8.

Griggs first began thinking about the shop 10 years ago. An avid quilter, she thought it would be fun to run her own business.
'I got very scared, very quickly, because of the fi nancial risk involved,' said Griggs, 42. 'I had a fear of failing. So, I put the dream away for a while.'
Through a renewed commitment to church, she found the courage to open the store."
Way to go Dianna, may all success be yours, because you have taken action!
