Our guild is having a nutritionist come give a lecture in April. She normally charges a fee for her lectures, but is doing it pro bono for us. So, I made her the attached as a Thank You gift. It's from Quiltmaker Mag., May/June 2000.

Of course, not a one of our members needs advice or counsel on such things as weight control, but our program committee thought it might provide an interesting change :lol: :roll: .

This is a fabulous quilt. Veggies are my favorite foods & this quilt captures their beautiful colors & shapes. My friend, this lady will be so surprised & I know she will enjoy her quilt. Have a feeling she'll display it on a wall, either in her house, or find an exhibit that she can put it in. Don't underestimate your work. Give yourself a pat on the back for making this for someone who you feel deserves it. it.

Wow This quilt just captures the imagination! I can't stop looking at it. Very cool colors and subject.

edited to say ...OMG!! You used the same word I did sheila! That is funny. Humm... I wonder what is causing us to say capture?? LOL!

That is a great thank you for a lecture. She will love your group and you in particular! I saw that in the magazine and saved it, but I don't care much for paper piecing. You did a great job!

Oh.MY.GOD!!! I have GOT to get that magazine!
I am a gardening fanatic and would do just about anything to make that!!
Wow!

Okay. I don't say that often - and have a hard time finding projects that I would make for myself - but oh.my.god!!! I have got to get that pattern!!

That is awesome!!

I don't care much for paper piecing either, but there are some really great patterns out there for this method, so periodically I MAKE myself do it just so I can have the finished results.

I loved that. It is really cute. If I were closer I would volunteer to speak, I am a nurse practitioner, and would love a thank quilt like that. I hope your speaker realizes she received more than the fee she normally charges.

Oh that is sooo cute! Bet she loves/will love it!
