Finally completed hand quilting this panel. I thought the panel was too plain so I used a red fabric paint to color the flower. Size is approximately 20" wide x 42" long. It will be a Christmas present for my best friend. I think it looks better in person than the terrible photos I took but what do you all think?

That really was a great idea to have the red flower. That is beautiful -- and a wonderful idea. Where did you get your panel? I love it.

Thanks Ducky!

The panel came from Fabric.com. Looks like they don't have this lady any more but this one is just as beautiful I think: http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail....d-0541a083a8db

Wow, this is just beautiful. The red flower is mesmerizing. Your friend is blessed to have you. Is she a quilter also? If not she should join just for the fun and eye candy! Thanks for sharing. Gabrielle

Aww, what a sweet thing to say! And, yes, my friend is a quilter. She's the one who taught and encouraged me with my hand quilting. She placed the "Lady" in a place of honor in her home. No matter which door you come into, the "Lady" is there to greet you....

nanaof2 02-16-2010 07:30 PM

Awesome. The addition of the red is beautiful. My aunt always told me, you need a little red in every quilt if possible.

prezzy 02-16-2010 07:36 PM

WOW Very nice.

Oklahoma Suzie 02-17-2010 09:59 AM
