Here's my annual Antique Quilt photo--this is the treasure I found some years ago at a Trade-Day sale in Scottsboro, AL:

| A "W" quilted in one area--my husband's last name is Wilkins |

A Dragonfly quilted in one area--I am a Dragonfly fan

In keeping with the Spirit of Giving, I've been clearing away some clutter and have given a dozen small quilts away this week. Class samples I won't use again, small wallhangings, pieces I know I don't need or want any more. Some went to guild members who stopped over to pick up something else, some went to people who attended my husband's retirement party yesterday, women he has enjoyed working with over the years. It was the first time they met me and were surprised and happy to be given a small quilt. It was fun to give my work away and make a little more room in the closet. It also gives me "permission " to keep making more quilts--like I really need that permission right?
