So I went and laid it out and tried to take a picture. :D But the camera's battery was dead. :shock: So it's charging and I'll post it later. Oh my, our power just went out, and now it's back on. Weird stuff.

Hmmm, something smells fishy to me. If her power went out, why didn't the computer go out too? :?:

Esqmommy

It's a laptop my dear.

And, the quilt is up for auction, and only has 5 bids (including mine). It's up to $95 and it cost me almost twice that to make it. figures.

Esqmommy

Here it is. It's not selling for much at this point, and there are about two hours left in the auction.

Oh well...

gaigai

Well I think it looks GREAT!! And your quilting is beautiful!!! I hope the bids go up fast, it is definitely worth it. You did a great job!!!

Esqmommy

Thanks but I didn't quilt it myself. I was going to, then chickened out at the last minute. I paid a long-armer to do it. She always does beautiful work too!

are they taking telephone bids ?????? lololol

It went tonight for $130. It cost me $150 to make it. Two other class projects went for much more. One was a chip/dip bowl with thumbprints. That went for $250. The other was a ceramic platter with thumbprints that went for $350. Both those items were made at those "paint it yourself" ceramic studios and probably cost $40, and took a grand total of 1 minute per thumbprint, MAX. My quilt took at least 15 hours of work, between tracing hands, retracing onto a different heat and bond, all the work of the applique, layout, binding, and getting it to the quilter. Plus she put in at least 4 hours quilting it, I'm sure!

Live and learn. I guess parents are burned out on sentimental stuff by 5th grade. The higher end projects were younger grades!
