LOVE IT. You are making me want to do something like this. Of course I am not sure when I would find the time. What with our gardening, my drawing & painting I spending hours on DIAL UP. lol. I am also trying to learn flute. It was my Dads and I recently got it fixed up. So I can dream of quilting or better yet look at yours.
ReplyDeleteI see you also got tagged. I have to think what 7 weird things are about myself. Guess I could ask my friends. They would know & probably tell me too.. LOL

Oh la la, you are one busy perfectionist woman! The quilt is beautiful and I wonder how many hours you have spend on this. Your back isn't aching?
ReplyDeleteLove this quilt.
Again I have to say how amazingly, wonderfully beautiful this quilt is. It's so fresh. Nobody could sleep in a room with it and not feel cheered.
ReplyDeleteMy back becomes affected some times. I try to remind myself to get up and walk around from time to time while sewing. Also to stand and iron gives the body some variety!
ReplyDeleteI too wonder how many hours I logged. I will perhaps keep a note pad by my sewing machine and count them from now on.
I can't wait for us to see it done, done. But for now thanks. I love it too.
The quilt is GORGEOUS. I love that the edges will 'age' after washing--This gives me all sorts of ideas!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.
Karen thank you so much. Your praise means a lot to me. I will look forward to what you make with frayed edges. :-)
