  2. Margaret, Thanks for giving out my web address. I have had many people come see it from your blog. I will be at the Festival of Quilts in August teaching in the Virtual Studio and I will also have a gallery show. I am planning on having some of my Lunar Series quilts there. I hope you can come up and see them. Thanks again.

    Bob Adams
