Beautiful, just beautiful! Can't think of any other words to say how great it is. I had to enlarge the pictures twice so I could tell the stitching is not machine stiching, because the stitches are so tiny!!!

>>The patterns are needlemarked, therefore I didn't have to remove any pencil marks. Just perfect on a light colored fabric like this one.

You have made a gorgeous heirloom quilt. Your hand quilting is truly exquisite.

I can easily see why this art work was in an exhibition. You should be very proud of your skill and artistry.

Just take a look at this thread:

It's a very traditional method of marking a quilt. I found it several years ago in a book from UK.

I'm afraid I can't tell you my secret - I don't have one. I just do it.

How utterly gorgeous. What patience to detail and to such beautiful even stitches. I am always in awe of quilting such as this. Congratulations
