do i understand you made it to be donated for auction & they're wanting to come up with a 'value' price? for instance - a $500 quilt for only $???

I also thought you might be interested in a quick way to hang your quilts up to take a photo of them. (If you don't have anyone around to hold them up.) Sure works for me.
They are plastic hangers for pants, with clips on each edge. I just hang the hanger over the door jam.

Would you consider doing a "tute" showing how to make that irresistible wool? Very cute. I can't figure out how you joined the rounds for the body...or did you do it in one piece?

Hey "neighbor"!!! Great idea! Now if I was only able to quilt so I'd have something to show! Too much going on with my mother right now to find time to sew......

The lamb is soooo cute. I love its pink fur and the way you quilted it really makes it look fluffy. What kind of material is the pink fur?

The "fur" is 5 layers of flannel that have been sewn together on the background fabric. After the spirals are sewn down, you use scissors to cut in between the spirals, and then cut to the stitching as you would a "rag Quilt". After the quilt is washed it becomes the chenille body.
Thanks for looking!
