Leslie's Gobsmacker Quilt is online
Many, many thanks to Kellie for doing this for me.... what a gal!
Sadly, I am a much better quilter than photographer. It sure doesn't look so "gobsmacky" when reduced to the dulled colors and lack of detail in the pictures. Darn. Darn. Darn. Anyway, you can see it at: http://www.hamiltonpipeband.org/bergerfamily/leslie.htm I haven't decided yet whether to applique' the large leaves on the border, so y'all may tell me what you think. With or without? ;-) Leslie spitting on my stoopid camera The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me- My dogs aren't my whole life...they make my life whole. RCTQ- Houston 2004..... A good friend will come and bail you out of jail.... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn... that was fun!" |

Hullo Leslie
This is lovely. Well done. It looks *so* windy. I love it too. Yes, the additional leaves add so much; please add them on. I love that one-sided border - definitely an idea I will store away for future use. Didn't I say I liked asymmetry just the other day, too. I must be shifting asymmetrically in my purple and red age (I'm not going to call it 'old' anymore!!) More power to you Leslie; you've really found a genre to fit. ..

You have too place the large leaves on the side they add another dimension
to the quilt/ The quilt is so beautiful I think you have excelled yourself. Are you entering it into any competitions?? Quilts like this inspire the rest of us mortals onwards to better things. I hope you are a bit proud of what you have made. trish in Sydney |

At risk of writing 50,000 words, I see strength standing against hardship, I
see a little girl with her first tu-tu, I hear music with depth and joy. Wow, Leslie. What an inspiring creation. Maybe I would have done better with silent awe; it's so hard to express admiration for something that exquisite. Go ahead and spit on your camera. I think it's just jealous.

Wow! Your excellence sure shows in this work! It's great! Thanks so much
for sharing it, even though you think the pictures imperfect. And wouldn't you want it this way? It'd be bad for a quilter to be a better photographer than quilter, no? grins Elena, doing a Happy Happy Dance for you! PS. I like the large leaves too!

I empathize about the camera... but... Since I know what uncooperative
cameras can leave out of the photos I can imagine them back in and so in my mind your quilt lacks none of the gobsmackiness you see in person. That is an incredible work of art Leslie. Im so glad we got to see it. Im not sure about the leaves on the border. I love the idea of leaves there but to my eye they are of another world than the foliage swirling round in the wind. The whole quilt is great from concept to fruition. Well done gal! Diana -- Queen of FAQs Royal Peace Maker http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me" wrote in message ...
