Oh Sandra, this took over a year and she mainly just worked on this continuously. She uses for a machine an old Kenmore and she does beautiful work. And she made her own frame for the handquilting. I think she was at it for over a year. She does not drive so I take her often to Sat. sews. She is very talented. I will tell her of all the compliments she has received here on the board.

I know it's hard to say, I hate that question myself, but did she stay with it or do some here and there and had it going for a while? Then to hand quilt the entire thing?!?! What a masterpiece! Please tell her that it is quite a museum piece and how envious I am of her talent. Wish I lived closer to you Fran, you have some very talented friends!
