I have always wanted to try this and recently my Guild had Linda Everhart as a guest. Yep, I bought the knife, the backing, the kit for her Quilt Police wallhanging my granddaughter wanted. Now I am just plain scared to give it a try. I hope it is not against the rules of this thread, but here is our link for the Everhart trunk show. Such beautiful work to share and yours is equally as beautiful, especially for a first try! Congrats.
