They are so beautiful. Is it hand work? ... beautiful either way, I'm always just amazed at the time involved in hand quilting...

Congrats, your quilt is beautiful.

I just returned from the Festival of Quilts. I so wish I paid more attention to whose quilts were there. I did a fast walk through the quilts as I was working a stand for the Cotton Patch. Maybe I even met you there? It was a wonderful show and I hope to go back again some day!

Borntohandquilt 08-20-2011 04:16 AM

Unfortunately I couldn't go to Birmingham...but I would love to one day.
