OMG, that is beautiful!!!!!! Wow. Card trick is one of my favorites. ****making note to self to NEVER quilt with silk****
I made my DIL's sister a wonderful large tote for Christmas, because as a teacher, she always can use one. I decided to use faux suede and I swear I will never touch that stuff again. Same as the silk -- it frayed like crazy. Big, long threads of fray, and the frayed strands had so much static that they stuck to EVERYTHING. Never again. I told her to really, really love that bag because it had a part of my sanity in it.
