And speaking of my friends of the Frayed Edges

There are hotlinks in the earlier post on the names of the various Frayed Edges, but maybe I should tell you a bit about them on-line. Deborah Boschert many of you probably know well from Deborah’s Journal. Deborah’s work would fit well in Quilting Arts…sometimes I get irked at the “too much stuff” on the surface of QA, but Deborah’s work fits in with the best of QA. She always does the embellishments “just right”…not too much, not too little, and just the right touch. Of course, that extends to her home and her life, too….she always has just the right touch or thing to say. Her hubby is recently resigned from the Navy (he’s a pilot) after many, many years, and they and their two kids are moving to Dallas (booo hoooo hoooo again…I’m resigned, but I really will miss her here) for his dream job. Deborah’s work is for sale on her other website, Deborah’s Art–don’t miss it!

Kate Cutko moved to Maine shortly after college, and is (I think, if as a newbie “from away” I can say this) now truly a Mainer. She works with adoptions and placing kids with adopting families, doing home studies and all that. She and her friend from college, Katie, started up a business last year called Kitchen Table Cards (guess where the idea for the business originated..yep, at the kitchen table), aimed at adopting parents. She’s even getting orders from Europe!!!! hooray for the internet and the tight adoption community. Best of all, many of the cards and posters and calendar, can be used by folks who haven’t adopted. Kate has two kids (I guess I shouldn’t put their names, even though they have cool names, eh?)….anyway, son is 7, daughter is a big younger and from the Ukraine.

Kathy Daniels is one of those people who, when you see her quilts, you just shake your head in awe. No envy, nothing negative…that’s not possible because she’s so nice! She has, hoooray!, just joined the blogging world at a Studio in the Woods. She’s a Mainer all her life, so whenever those of us from away are mystified by something “Maine,” we ask her! She recently made these totally wonderful advent calendars (was it nine of them Kathy?)..at any rate a whole LOT of them for nieces and nephews, each with a cloth portrait of said child at the top. I hope she’ll blog about them soon, and all her amazing pieces, too. One hard thing about seeing her work on the web is that there are so many wonderful details all around, and you won’t get to pick up and pore over and touch and look like we get to do.

Hmm…methinks you all need photos. Well, it is get the kids on the bus time (well, it was when I wrote this…a day and a half ago…and now it is crash on the sofa in a vegetative heap time), so not now, but later today or tomorrow I’ll take pictures of the pages they did for me in the “books” we worked on, and post them for you…..
