Hallelujah! QOV2 done!
One of those quilts from hell... I'm pretty happy with how it turned
out, but I think I aged YEARS since starting it about 6 weeks ago. It was my first quilt to ever have puckers/pleats on the back, and a good chunk of it was done before I discovered them, so LOTS of frog- stitching. Nothing bled on any white anywhere--except the label. Not bad, but makes it look not fresh. Discovered how tricky stitch in the ditch is on a frame, and decided eventually to do the SID in the borders on my sewing machine... On the other hand, maybe I should stop whining. Whoever receives it has gone through real hell. And I do love the colors. --Heidi http://community.webshots.com/user/rabbit2b |

It's beautiful, Heidi! I love the way you photograph your quilts--laying
flat and then over the chair!! -- Donna in NE La. "heidi (was rabbit2b)" wrote in message ... One of those quilts from hell...

Thanks, Donna. That started early on. I just couldn't get a picture
that looked like the quilt *felt. Chalk it up to being a lousy photographer! --Heidi http://community.webshots.com/user/rabbit2b On Jun 20, 6:46*pm, "Donna in NE La." wrote: It's beautiful, Heidi!

The stripey border really sets it off. :-) The recipient soldier will be very glad to have it. Best regards, Michelle in NV |

It seems to shimmer with all of those different-yet-similar reds. Whoever gets that will love it, I'm sure. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |

Thanks, all! I'm a little embarrassed to say I've got a bit of a
Pygmalion thing going on. I really disliked it as a top, second- guessed myself all over the place, hated all the grief it put me through--and am very pleased with it now. I didn't dream the reds would be as rich as they are! --Heidi http://community.webshots.com/user/rabbit2b |
