WOW and WOW that is beautiful great job :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Cool looking quilt, I couldn't sleep under it, I would spend all my time looking at the wonderful appliques and piecing!! Looks great on the bed.

Totally awesome!

What a beautiful quilt. I think sometimes that God gave us handwork so we could focus on the process and allow us to heal from the blows life deals us.

Beautiful!

Wow! Impressive....great job with the artistic side of you! I love it!

Caring for and losing both your husband and mother is quite a load to bear. You are a strong and caring woman to be much admired. Your quilt is wonderful; whimsical, colorful and fun. I think you got just the right amount of "sea stuff" to make it interesting and authentic. Except, of course, for the mermaids that I choose to believe frolic under the sea in spite of scientific evidence to the contrary. Stay strong.

Beautiful! I can't even imagine like that.

Absolutely stunning! So sorry for your loss.

Very Very Cooool!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Such a beautiful tribute to your husband and mother. Maybe you should make it into a pattern that you could sell. It would keep your mind occupied for awhile and you probably could sell 100's on this board. It is exceptional as are you also my dear. Hugs

beautiful.. i could sit and look at it for hours...

My condolences on your great losses. May this quilt help you to heal, and hold many memories. The quilt is a real work of art! Please don't discount your artistic efforts, as they are wonderful!! I hope this quilt will be in a place for you to look at often. Blessings to you!

I think it is beautiful. I really love the Octopus. :thumbup:

You did a GREAT job! So nice.

So pretty. I don't think I have the patience to do
this....yet, but would like to do something like it.
You are a good encourager.

I can see a lot of planning and hard work went into this quilt. I am so sorry to hear you lost two such significant people in your life in such a short time. I am sure the work on the quilt, even though you would sometimes cry, was healing for you.
Be sure to show us the completed quilt. I know it will be a showstopper!! :thumbup:

Wow! I'm always attracted to anything with ocean themes. Your quilt is beautiful!

You may not consider yourself an artist, but you have quite a work of art here! Give yourself a pat on the back for finishing this one. The receipients will treasure it.

ps, I'm sorry for your loss.

OMG what a beautiful quilt. I am sure they will love it.

Awesome!

Stunning - absolutely beautiful - congratulations on working on this and being diligent to finish it. ;-)

Thank you all for your wonderful responses. I miss my husband and mother very much, but life must go on. Thank you for your kind words regarding my grief. Have a wonderful day, week, month, year, life. I think that covers it all.

It is Wonderful! I love a quilt that makes you look closer and explore its treasures.
Be good to yourself and take time to heal. Let others take care of you for awhile.

That is the most awesome quilt and applique I believe I have ever seen. I would surely be in seventh heaven, if anyone had ever made such a quilt for me. It is wonderful. Of course living near the ocean a good part of my life makes it even more special, than it would be anyway. I really love this quilt. In my mind I see you working on it. What a special job you did. Thanks so much for putting this on here for me to see. It is great.

You certainly are an artist! You did a fantastic job at this art quilt. I think the coins will really add anther special touch. What a special gift!
I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband and mother.
Warm Hugs

This quilt is amazing. My mother collected fabric for years and was going to make the same theme for me someday. Mom is not with us now and it killed me when we donated her fabric stash. Great job so far.

For whatever this is worth to you in your recent loss, I wrote this a few years back

Oh Say ...Did You Hear
(C) Vickey Stamps

Oh say did you hear how the angels sang
as all the bells in heaven rang
as the Lord Of Hosts stood up to say
"Another angels flown home today!
Earth took the loss and heaven the gain.
Here will be joy...no sorrow...no pain."
So say did you hear how the angels sang
As all the bells in heaven rang

Oh My!! Very very beautiful and so very artistic. That should go into a show! Love the coral and the mermaids look great. Wow.
I am so sorry for your losses. What a time you have had, dealing with 2 deaths.
Hugs and Prayers.
