My avatar is my Indian Orange Peel that I completed in October, but finally just put the sleeve on and hung. It look like a year to make, and it was a labor of love. I did NOT quilt it, I paid a pro to do it for me. The pattern is in one of Karen Stone's books...she did it in autumn type colors, hence the name Indian Orange Peel. I think I need to re-name this girl - I'm thinking something like "SHUT UP" LOL!!!
You know, translation is tricky........Il Cielo di Notte...is more like "Night Sky" or "Heaven" as in a noun, not an adjectives


if you want to say "Heavenly Nights" the literal translation would more accurately be "celeste notti", the word "celeste" ...meaning celestial, or Heavenly

...but in MHO even better is ...Notti(plural) in Cielo....Nights in Heaven...(or Notte (singular) in Cielo, Night in Heaven -or less literally, Heavenly Night(s).....really the best title for what you want to say...

sorry about me going on and on...I was a language major and the translation stuff is so tricky because you can't always translate word for word etc, as you probably know..
