What a lovely story, which makes me smile too! Thank you for sharing—both your quilt and your thoughts about The Ninepatchers. Keep smiling! Joen

All the patterns are wonderful, but Ninepatchers really made me laugh. Reminds me of my family reunions! What made me smile this week? A phone call from my bother. He was thanking my for surprising him and the little boy he babysits with a SpongeBob quilt. The little boy has Downs Syndrome, and doesn’t communicate easily, but when he saw his name that I had appliqued on the blankie he patted it and said “Mine!” I’ve been smiling since then.

Hi Susan,
I love Mickey’s Nine-patchers too. I like what you’re happy about, as flooding is such a catastrophe. Right now the snow has melted so quickly in our region that our rivers are brimming with high water. Flooding is on everyone’s mind, as it’s going to happen in our lowlands. I feel so badly for those who live in those areas when our weather turns so quickly after a large snowstorm.

I love all five of the patterns but my favorite is Fantasia. I can imagine hanging that in the stairwell so I can see it every time I walk down the hall. If I don’t win it, I think I will have to buy it…also the cheerful Nine Patch. I would find a place for that in the Great Room.l

Love those five patterns. The one that always captures my fancy though is Micky Dupree’s nine patch. it is such a happy little quilt. This week I’m happy that our city is recovering from this summers terrible flooding and the we have received so much help from the government, Over 77 million came through this week.
