Batik "Monster" is Finished

Blush, Thanks Sandy...but I wasn't trying to elicit that response! I just
meant that what we take for granted and even mediocre (compared to the REAL
quilt artists) can impress people who usually don't get to see quilts unlike
their grandmother's.
Thanks again.

You're right Kathyl! And they can really excite someone, too, when they
see them after a long time of *not* seeing them! Congratulations -- your
work is beautiful.

Kathyl, they may not be new, but I'm seeing them for the first time and they
are just wonderful! I'm sure the general public viewing them at the bank
must be astounded at what quilting encompasses.

Oh, I sort of suspected that, Kathyl! But it's true.

And you're right about that, too.

Marvelous!

You are so right Joan. I think that's why we all enjoy the webshots pages
and posts. It's so much fun to share the pictures and get the feedback
from fellow quilting friends.
I have to share a bit more. Last night was the local Gallery Walk here.
My small group has had quilts displayed at one of the banks since the
first of the year. It is really cool to attend the show and get the warm
fuzzies from the wonderful comments from the people on the walk. We have
done this three times, and it's just as exciting as the first time. The
bank employees love having quilts decorate their offices. They change
their wall art about 3-4 times a year, and we always hear they like the
quilts the best. (I know, they probably say that to the print makers, the
landscape artists, etc.) Last night there were more people there due to a
city wide children's art exhibit in another part of the bank. So there
were more people going through our exhibit than would be usual. One of my
neighbors was blown away when she found out what I had there. I was very
flattered and a teeny, teeny bit "miffed" (for lack of a better word).
Seems like in all these years she would have seen or heard about what I do
with my days as a "retired" (kids grown) stay at home mom. Other
neighbors have seen my work. Anyway, I'm not holding it against
her.....she wanted to know if I did any commissions and wanted her husband
to see my stuff. So maybe something will come of it.

p.s. Thank you all for your kind words. It's always a pleasure to
share my projects with my world-wide group of quilting friends.

joan, that is gorgeous! The size is the thing that has stopped me making a
quilt for our bed. I really don't want a topper, but quilting something that
size is a bit (very) daunting. I continue to be inspired by the quilters on
this group, so maybe one day :-)

I saw the clip on the band from your local news recently. It was nice to see
some of your work hanging in the background in the footage of you and your
DH! And good to see the families of the boys getting recognition for their
support. My DD is going to Hawaii for the 3 shows this month, couldn't wait
any longer for them to come to us :-)

Love that monster! Then I HAD to see the rest of your album to find
the wallhanging. Now that I really like too!
