Here is Luv2sew Donnas, and Fromzstore blocks.
I did Donna's in a whiteish fabric with small blue stars and put primitive american stars in the corners.
On Fromzstore I had it all ready and I really tried. I use some vintage velvet and my Irish lace I brought back from Belfast. For the most part it turned out great, but When I was cutting the last border my Oliso iron faulted and the front I-touch didn't work and it left holes in the lace. I am putting my last lenght of irish lace and some of the floral fabric if some one can patch the holes in the lace (last picture) I have spent 11 hours on it and just can't get it right. Linda I owe you any round on something. I appologize for this one. I had to just give up and pass it on, hopeing that someone will be able to help. PLEASE.
Fovever in your debt

Robert, the Victorian is mine! And I am sure we can just appliqué over the boo-boo. It is just an 'opportunity' for creativity and embellishment. Love the velvet and am so impressed that you would share that beautiful lace with me! Diana

I feel so bad that I let you down. I am going to make another set of borders and send them with the quilt and you can decide if you want to replace the not so up to par ones. I always want to do a great job for my family and I don't think this one wills that bill.
Thank you for your understanding.
I will post them today so you can see the new ones and use them if you want.

Dear Robert,
You are crazy. We love your work. Diana can mend that lace without a lot of effort. You know the Navajo, among other peoples, believe it is disrespectful to the gods to make anything perfect. A real Navajo rug will purposely have a "mistake". I, personally, have had no trouble respecting that tradition!! It is supposed to be handmade. Relax.

Just signed on and found that I've not been getting the notifications again!!!!
Robert, I'm sorry that happened to the lace, but I agree that you do beautiful work and we all have moments when things don't go as planned. So now she had a "design opportunity" and I'm sure it will all come out in the end.
I've just finished the top you sent me for your friend. I hope both you and your friend will like what I've added to it.
