It's done!!!
October 12, 2007
Yes, finally, 'Butterfly Garden' is complete!!!!!:
Isn't the quilting beautiful?:
My friend Melinda did the most incredible job of quilting it. As always, she knew how to make the stitchery and applique stand out and simply be enhanced by her quilting. I was so overwhelmed to see what she had turned it into I had tears in my eyes - thankyou Mel!:
Here it is nailed (yes, I know you shouldn't nail your quilt to your wall but, well, no excuses really)to the studio wall:
I really must do that Photoshop course (in my spare time - LOL) and learn how to crop photos!
The patterns will be out in a few weeks (in November), I will let you know, and of course do a give-away of a full set of patterns.
Isn't a finished quilt a wonderful feeling?!!

it's a wonderfull job ! I really like this one and you're right about the quilting, it adds something to the all thing. Maybe one day I could done one of your quilt but for the moment it's to big for my beginner level.
