Love the deer quilt! I made the same one for my niece and her husband for their 25th wedding anniversary as they are avid hunters. I hand quilted it and quilted around each deer, rock and outlined as much as I could. Did the trees area with Sulky variegated green thread and had it meandering around. Did it on a Hindenberg standing hoop and they absolutely loved it. It was a work of love and came out really nice. Don't know how to send pictures here so I cannot show it. Sorry, but I am a bit tecnhically retarded in that area.
