Wow. Beautiful. I'm always amazed what people (but not me) can do with talent and patience.

those are amazing - the problem is---when I see beautiful work like that, I rethink if I want to quilt anylonger because my projects look so mundane!

Those are amazing.
To all the happy quilters who are putting themselves down - DON'T.
Not everyone is meant to be a master quilter. If we all made masterpieces who would make quilts for the needy, our friends,our families, and all the other people who receive our quilts. Although I admire that lady's work I'm happy with what I do.

Did you read the part on the first one where she says "it took three whole days to quilt the background." She seemed disappointed that it wasn't faster! It would take me three days to get up my nerve to try those lines.

What beautiful work!
