You should be just fine with the photo on your quilt.

I love the way you used your fancy stitches between the rows. I would say it was inspired by the painting and not a copy of it.

That's a lovely piece of work, Watson. I'm glad you were inspired and I'm glad you shared it with us

Very nice interpretation of the original painting, but not exact. Love your colors and trees.

Now I’m going to go get extra nerdy and read that court case or settlement depending on what they did. Because that’s how this girl unwinds 💁*♀️

I've joined legal advice and BOLA (Best of Legal Advice) on reddit, and I was waiting for you to say the obligatory "I'm a lawyer, but not *your* lawyer," lol. I'm a legal nerd, too, and I have looked up Supreme Court cases when they are referenced in something I am reading, so I can see what they actually said. Not that I can always understand it completely, but I can usually get the drift.

Thanks for "coming out" to us here, and giving so freely of your expensive education. That's sew kewl!!

Watson!!! Even though this is on the main forum and not the machine side, I have to ask the most important question of all: which machine did you use for the fancy stitches??? Girl gotta have priorities, lol.
