Haven't been online for a while - finally finished my bargello! What a job! I started out trying to machine quilt but gave up and started over. This one is hand quilted like all my others. The colors don't show up as bright as they truly are. My picture-taking expertise is like my quilting, I guess. The stitching in the close-up doesn't show very well either but it is purple thread on the white. Not too sure I like that - maybe should have stayed with the white. Violet backing looks blue in picture. Anyway, here it is.

I am starting a Cathedral Windows. I may start another Swish in January with marvellove. Then I want to make the Barb MO pattern . Don't forget the tips and tricks because I will be asking you for them. Better yet, go ahead and send me all your notes and I will have them. :)
Good job!

Good job!

Thanks a bunch! I made a Cathedral Windows years ago. I made it extra big so it's pretty heavy - took me a long time.
I love it. :)

I found the colors in my quilts show up better if I take the photo outside. I had my handy husband make a rack to hold a quilt on outside just for photos.
