About Me

My photo
Hello All! Thanks for visiting the website. Boy howdy I am working hard on my quilts. Each one is different and tells a little something about me. Sometimes I just go random but there is always something special about each one. I'm pretty cool, at least I think so, I laugh a lot and I laugh loudly. I'm delighted you're looking at this website and considering supporting us. Thanks for passing through Miss Troye! Andy will join us and tell you about himself. he loves cooking, tennis, his music and anything Redskins. He will tell you more about himself later.

What has been happening up to now

Well a lot has been happening. At long last I received the batting I ordered from Tennessee!! I laughed when I saw how big the package was. Cyrus is holding it in one of the photos so you can see what I am talking about. It looks like a fat carpet. The funny thing is four friends in different parts of the world helped me get it here. This will be yet another story I can tell my grand daughters when they are older..

In fact I have had so much support from friends and family I can no longer say I am doing this on my own. Thanks to Barish who set up this blog spot, , my mother in law gave generously out of her stash of African fabrics which she collects on her travels throughout Tanzania and Sierra Leone. The lovely Katherine helped update and edit my pictures and is also a gold mine of insight and input she offers her opinion without buffers sometimes I don't know where she got that personality trait from, honestly. Andy is just a rock and supports most everything I do (LOL). I have been very encouraged by friends and associates who have just called or stopped me to ask how it is going, which is so helpful to me. There have been many offers of assistance. Someone even offered to come and sit and keep me company while I sewed.

I have been dying fabric, altering denim and all sorts of lovely things like that. I went to London last week for a training course but while I was there I could not resist a quick pit stop into Liberty's (beautiful leafy red fabric). I called into a haberdasher's in Northwood Hills where I buy my calico. I raced there after my course finished to make it before closing time at one on Saturday. Thankfully my bags were not lost at terminal 5 at Heathrow.

Any way I am well on my way and I hope together we really can help Melisa. Sometimes when I feel like giving up I just think of her and I am supplied with the energy and the will to carry on.

Thanks for stopping

Troye
