I love how you included those old cherished cookie recipes into your quilt, those recipes card resemble my own and my Cooky book is falling apart too.

They are my favorite kind of potholder. You came up with ideas for your borders that never crossed my mind. I love your interpretation of both and am very impressed by your woven borders. It looks so simple but I can imagine the difficulty of creating those squares to look like weaving. Well done on both your quilts!<br />--Nancy.

What a delightful border and all the memories behind it! So cute and funny about the windowsill cookies! Perfectly fits with your sweets filled baskets. You definitely achieved a woven look on your second equally wonderful medallion.
