Thanks Eddie. Couple years ago, a neighbor kept saying she'd come teach me how to do CWs, but didn't come. I went online, found a site (can't recall where) & started a CW that I didn't finish. My DGS wanted a pillow, so I used what I'd done to make one for him & he loved to hug it. I was using muslin & scraps, but your batiks are so classy. You really stretch outside the box.
Glad you've done this for us & it may be on my To-Do-List soon. When you retire from work, you can start making videos & do your own quilting show like the ones I see on PBS (Public Broadcasting) on Sat afternoons. Have you seen Ricky Tims & Alex Anderson. I'm sure folks here know who they are. I can see you & Melissa doing that kind of show.
