Lovely! I used to quilt but nothing this ambitious. I can only afford one hobby at a time. :sad:
This is the story of Hans Fifer an immigrant from Germany. Hans and his wife Sonia arrived at Ellis Island on the Fourth of December 1823. Sonia was with child and mid term in the pregnacy. Hans convinced Sonia that thier child should be born an American.
Sonia had no family remaining in Germany as her mother passed away during childbirth. Her father fell sick during the winter of 1817, just a week after her wedding. Some felt he hung on just long enough to see the daughter he raised single handed for 23 years get married to the carpenter's son. He had owned the local bakery and Sonia took over the day to day operations when she was 17, as he had suffered a stroke that resulted in his being unable to bake.

Yes, Judy it can be expensive. I'm fortunate my husband has me totally spoiled. That's why I make soap! ( so spoiled I stink)
WOW you're really good at this! Only thing is the immigrants were from Norway on one side and Ireland the other!
Beautiful quilt and I admire your patience! I used to collect fabric because I said one day I'd teach myself to quilt. I'll probably never get around to it. 
Hazel your still breathing so there's still time!
Thanks! Your comment made me laugh. I don't think I'll ever do it. I don't even sew anymore and the table I used to lay out the material is covered with soap. Maybe I should start jewelry making again since it doesn't take up much room.
And sending me lovely soap! :wink:
