As someone said about mine, we waited to make sure the marriage was going to last . I love quilting with the embroidery floss. I used two strands and made the stitches wider so they would show up well. The hard part is keeping the stitch length uniform, especially working with the thick flannel.
Thanks, everyone for the compliments. I got it back from the cleaners yesterday and it goes in the mail today!
