I've been wondering about us...Lovely finishes. I've been wondering about using embroidery floos in place of perle cotton for some big stitch stitching. Thanks for the hint. Do you also use an embroidery needle to do the stitches, then, too?

It looks even more stunning now that it has been quilted. As for the lady, she is glorious. I can see all these fabrics I recognise mixed with chintzy florals and bold moderns and they frame her perfectly. Are you ever going to enter these into a show?

I especially like the red tulip dancing across your string - very fresh and fun!<br />OMOG is fab too - can't believe you picked out machine quilting - the hand stitching is wonderful, so it was worth it. <br />I always think "do I want to take the time now to fix this, or regret I didn't forever...."
