So when the owner of Superior Threads commissioned me to quilt her quilt top, I very nervously accepted the task. I quoted her 4 cents a square inch, and ended up taking 25 hours because I wanted it to be perfect. When she came to pick up the quilt, she laughed at the total on the receipt, and paid me DOUBLE!! I was so grateful for her generosity, and glad it's all done. What do you think?

For the background I did pebbling, or micro-stippling.

Stunning. I would say more, but my jaw dropped onto my keyboard and I haven't gotten it picked up yet.
