    Have you checked out the Paper Piecing virtual section as well as the Miniature? Most of the Miniatures there are actually small quilts and not true 1/10th scale.
    Enjoy your time here!!
    Oh yes, the railroad line along the Rhine is just wonderful, so much to see!
    I just began to browse through the miniatures section. How wonderful minis there! I´m so happy that I´m no longer alone with my mini love, and with my love for 30s reproductions! You are great here! :thumbup:

    Hello and welcome from PA! Fourteen years ago I did a study abroad in Duisburg for one semester. I would love to go back some day and visit southern Germany!

    Thank you. I started looking at your blog, but will review more later in the evening. I am on dial up so downloads are faster in the wee hours of the morning. How big are your hexagons in your quilt? They are just beautiful.

    Wow the Grandmothers flower garden mini is exquisite!
