    Krystyna, I love those mittens. If you get my name I would love a pair, it also gets cold here in WV.

    Off Topic Alert: I have been thinking about an idea for a quilt for next years quild show. I have this picture stuck in my head after seeing a similar one on T.V. I was wondering what everyone thinks of it. I know it will be difficult to get it down but I really love it and the oddness of it. Tell me what you think go for it or way to wierd.

    Mdall, I think the picture is beautiful, not wierd. However, that being said, I would have loads of problems trying to capture that in fabric and have it look like the picture. If you feel you can, don't let anyone take that away - YOU GO GIRL!

    Vanogay, thanks for your input. I too thought about how hard it would be to get all the effects in there to get it looking even close to the pic. I have read some articles on some markers that are used for adding dimension to appliques so I think I may try those out for some added interest. Also, I forgot to mention that I would be leaving the wings out of the picture since I am not to hot on those.

    I agree with Kathleen, if you can do it! How awesome that will be.

    If I had to do it I would have nightmares because I am scared to death of snakes. my hubby has a little plastic one that every once in awhile I find it hiding! pay back is tough though I stitched the bottom of his boxers together! Don't mess with a quilter! He was just lucky he was not wearing them!

    Love the photo, especially the colors, but would remove snakes and replace with feathers. GO For IT!!

    It looks like a Heaven And Earth Design cross stitch. If it isn't, I bet you could convert it.

    I also bet it would take you 12.3 years to complete it as a cross stitch.
