If you aren't familiar with the stitch, I recommend checking it out. I'm not affiliated with them, but will now be a customer. If anyone has old Twilling books, I'd live to know the names of the ones you like so that I can try to find more quilt blocks to do an entire quilt and not just use some large red work designs. Thanks!
There was a lady out near me that did Twilling. Her work was really pretty. She entered quilts in the fair a couple of times but I don't think the judge knew how to really judge her work since it never placed very high. It's been a couple of years since I've seen her or seen any of her work in the fair so I'm not sure she's still around.
