not a quilt but it is quilted. a valance for my kitchen window and a table runner to match. i took the 40 year old blinds down and threw them in the trash, i was tired of looking at them and tired of cleaning them. sometimes all the "stuff" in my house over whelms me, i had the inside painted so made some changes - u know, kinda scaled down things a bit, a bit more simple and i like it.

Looks great! Are the cardinals embroidered or appliqued?

Hi Dojo, You were saying you wished you knew how to applique.

Try the Home Page above and click on Tutorials. I posted how to do machine or hand applique.

Hope it helps Elle
