A finish at last!!
And I have made it in time - whoopie
All washed and dried!
The back
One corner
I dont know why - but this photo turned itself sideways ??
My ladybug is on a feather - can you find it?
I was really delighted with it, and so pleased to see both the fine pencil I had drawn with and the washable Berol pen marking all washed out successfully
I did soak if for a couple of hours...and much to my horror there was a red dye from somewhere..so I kept washing it and all was well now. I think it was from the Christmas style fabric backing.
Now on to other things.
Joan, it's amazing. Your quilting is just beautiful. Breath taking, I tell ya!! You have to be doing the happy dance right about now!! :-) I would have freaked if I saw all that dye in the water! I'm so relieved that it came out.
ReplyDeleteOh Joan! It is gorgeous! What a fabulous job you have done - I love all the different fills and patterns you've used. Give yourself a pat on the back and a hug from me!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work! I bet you never imagined 12 months ago you would eb abel to quilt like this!
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely stunning. I'm in awe!

just stunning Joan.I love this kind of heavy quilting and lots of ddetail, but so far I only get to do my own quilts this way as most of my customers prefer less quilting.

ReplyDeleteOh Joan, this is outstanding. It's beyond any words that I can offer. I think Linda's word - breathtaking - fits perfectly. I couldn't find the ladybug but I have a headache this morning so I think you'll understand.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed at your abilities!!!
Again you have worked your magic. It's absolutely beautiful!!
