First off, to JOY: Spectacular! Your choice of colors and your fabulous piecing are to die for!
And to Charismah: WOW: another Charishmah Classic ....
The combination of your efforts, ladies, has made a wonderful treasure .... WOW ... wow....... wow...
Charismah - I think what members viewing these quilts are most impressed by is the fact that you (and a few other LAers on this board) DO take each work as an individual endeavor ....
Although we all know that in quilting, there will be patterns duplicated, and current fabrics and placement may be similar -- no two quilters are viewed by you as clones. You don't take the attitude: "oh, this is so similar to the one that I just did; I can just call this one in!" ....
No, you take the time to get a feel for the character and uniqueness of each of your clients .... You seem to put so much thought and effort into showcasing THEIR work ... The client surely DOES come first with you.
I will also state: Newbies or old-hand quilters get equal treatment. You truly do a fine job of making some not-so-special pieced-tops come to life -- and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
For something of this quality you certainly seem to go the extra mile .... You bring such joy and optimism to each project -- it shows in your finished product ..... When ever I (and a lot of other board members) see you post anything, I MAKE time to click in and marvel at your work ....
Joy .... Charismah will surely be anxious to work with your tops again and again ..... and I will be standing in line to see the final "TA-DA!" of each.
Thanks for the experience today. I can dream .... ahhhhhh.....
