After it was finished, I did not like the quilting done so close as it made it too stiff for my liking. But I used a cotton batting and I didn't want it all bunching up. If I try another, I want to leave more room between stitching lines and will use W&N instead. Plus I want to learn how to make feathers and some other designs. Just have to find time. I love sharing things on here but there are others who are so much more talented than I. What a wonderful group.

How true your words are! I think you are doubly gifted!

The quilt is great. Is there any way you can have your poem printed on nice paper or fabric and display it with your quilt? Keeping them together just seems right.

I bow to you for you are very talented. I think the quilt is beautiful and the poem was fantastic. I may have to print the poem if you don't mind and hang it in my sewing area.
