I'll be posting more of my older work later and it just amazes me sometimes when I see it. Did I really make those! Cathy is part of an online group I started back in 97 - <a href="http://www.thefiberconnection.com" rel="nofollow">The Fiber Connection</a> so we email quite a bit. Having a good support group is really a huge help. And yes, accent on the ten. It's like lieutenant but ends in 'egger' like arnold and very much not the correct german pronounciation. Mary - I liked Williamsburg, I only lived there 2 years. Much of it is a in the haze of new mom-ness as I moved there when my son was 2 weeks old (not recommended). Some of my best friends still live in Williamsburg so I go back an visit occasionally. Things I didn't like - the summers were hot and humid, there are too many trees so I felt a bit claustrophobic and there was no where to buy good tortillas. Shelia, it is amazing what we forget.

Did you enjoy living in Williamsburg, VA? It has become such a tourist trap in recent years. Very cool quilt, Lisa. You must have really wanted to have been challenged. Lisa Call sounds much nicer.

Very cool quilt, Lisa. You must have really wanted to have been challenged.

I even have pictures of it somewhere, I'm sure. And I knew Lisa back when she was still Leutenegger and had always pronounced her name incorrectly until I met her. The accent is on the "ten", right?

I never figured anyone knew who I was as Leutenegger so I never put much effort into connecting the 2 names in the quilt world. But now I guess I've gone and out-ed myself.

I am the sort of person who sees a quilt and remembers the artist's name. So of course having seen the work of Ms. Leutenegger...this is a name that is not easily forgotten. So glad you are Lisa Call again. Rilly. YOU ARE LISA LEUTENEGGER!!! omigod.

Isn't it amazing how much you forget about process over the years? I used to think I'd never forget all the details about a quilt I'd made, but it didn't take long for me to know better. My first quilt was one I made for my Dad. After he died, I got the quilt back. I was shocked to see I had mitered the border (albeit by turning the backing to the front). Sure didn't remember that!
