Your irises are beautiful : ) & the fabrics are perfect. Nice idea to use yarn for the stained glass effect!

GramaLaura 08-27-2011 07:35 AM

Ooohhh I must try this some day. You do beautiful work!!!! :-D

nena 08-27-2011 07:39 AM

Nicely done!

Was the 2nd one a pattern? If yes, could know what it is? Would love to try that. Yours are beautiful!!!

Both are beautiful. I love the light green back round on the 2nd quilt, it's looks so real!

I just love your Iris; one of my fav flowers.

tpetsartist 08-27-2011 11:58 AM

The back ground fabric on the first one is really impressive. I've never dyed fabric and that makes me want to try it. Very nice work on the Iris's too.

Yooper32 08-27-2011 02:16 PM

Your creations are gorgeous.

travelingquilter 08-27-2011 02:55 PM

The iris is one of my favorite flowers and you have captured their beauty in your wonderful quilts.

I love iris also - and your depiction of them is stunning!

Beautiful work on both.

RobertaMarie 08-27-2011 08:38 PM

You are a talented lady. Such nice patterns. Iris is one of my favorite flowers, and they do grow in my yard. I hope to make an iris quilt for my bed some day. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.

Sierra 08-28-2011 04:31 PM

Wow! you are talented. Did I hear you say
"They are my own patterns. pm me and I will send you a copy."
I've never used a pattern, except the ones I make on the spot, for each quilt, but I'd like to break that with yours, both. If you are overwhelmed by the requests and decide not to, I'll understand (but I may cry a little......).
