I am looking forward to Novembers quilt too..its so wonderful to have something to anticipate.. the joy of making a suprise for someone else and the thrill of getting one in return. The possibilities are endless. Marybeth I loved it and not sure what your talking about on the embroidery. It came out great. I truly love the pumpkin in the center on the back where you signed it that is something I would love all over a piece of fabric as the quilting job.. cool cool cool. I have it hanging up in my front entry pinned that puppy right to the wall for all to enjoy. Then it will go up on the wall in the sewing room.. its a small room if I continue doing this swap I will be pinning them to the roof!
