Thank you; however I cannot really take credit for the hand and spider web; my dear friend Helen since age of 14; decided several years ago (McMinnville Or) that she wanted to save the tradition of quilting by hand; she made many many quilts and her work was outstanding! She was the one who came up with the hand and spider web and she graciously let me do the same; sadly she passed away last fall and I miss her so, but hope that somehow in Heaven she can see my quilt; she did see it in the block stage and she was like a kid at Christmas seeing that she got me; of all people to try quilting! So thank you Helen and thank you board members for help and encouragement!
