Like you, I loved the zig zag stems for a bit of fun. They certainly give that quilt movement. Thank you for sharing these wonderful quilts with us on the other side of the world.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the quilts! It was my first museum exhibit, and I had a great time doing it. The folks at Benton County Museum were a lot of fun to work with, and I'd do an exhibit with them again in a heartbeat.<br /><br />You may be interested in knowing: less than half of my New York Beauties were in this exhibit. I have 46 of them now, and there were 21 in the exhibit. 42 of them are in the catalog. I've continued to collect this pattern, and have decided that 100 New York Beauties is my limit. But then, rules are made to be broken. :)<br /><br />This month I'm starting to sell some old quilts to make room for all the new ones arriving on my doorstep. I'll be launching a web site called Willy Wonky Quilts and will announce it on my blog. All types of services: appraisals, assessments, consignments, photography, etc. Stay tuned...<br /><br />Willy Wonky<br />aka Bill VolckeningBill Volckeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212965199140126299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501766604865364993.post-49366534214642018652011-10-03T08:15:00.272-07:002011-10-03T08:15:00.272-07:00WOW!
