Mirabelle....your quilt is gorgeous...exquisite...I'm speechless. What a vision you had for the quilting! I hope you feel gratified after all the hours of work. I've started quilting a lap quilt with simple echo and some cross hatch on the borders and it seems like it takes forever. Right now I can't imagine quilting like you do but I would like to. Did you did this on a regular machine? I don't remember you ever saying you had a LA. I'm so in love with the piecing process it seems like the quilting brings everything to a halt and I get frustrated.
QNSue...keep the stories coming. I love to hear what your fowl are doing. And...where did your DH move his stuff and do you have your LA all picked out?
Dubib...how neat that you can give a sewing maching a new lease on life. Was it an older machine? I think I remember you saying that you had some of your own.
