    Lindsey and Twyla,

    Thanks for your visit to Ozark Photos. I appreciate your kind words.

    Boy do I have an entry for your Wizard of Oz but it would be kind of embarassing for me!

    What a great idea. Also wanted to let you know about my High Noon Photo Contest. Just skip a few entries down on the blog.

    Twyla and Lindsey, thank you for the nice comment on my OSU quilt. I only piece the tops, all my quilts are machine quilted. Easier on my hands but also I can be more carefree for them to be used on the floor for naps or taken to ballgames. Thanks again for appreciating my work.
