Renata your poeny is really lovely. Well done for completing it and sending it off. It's a great feeling isn't it?

I finished my Asian-inspired pineapple block quilt the other day and just received my registration number--9606--from AAQI. That was really quick turnaround from AAQI! It's a modest effort commensurate with my skill level, but I learned a lot on this block: micro-stippling black-on-black was hard to do, miniature piping not so difficult and the easiest part was the hand-embroidered stamen using Pekin knot technique because it probably was the only thing on the block that I really knew how to do... The advice given on micro-stippling the black background of the flower along with outlining the flower itself and using wool batting was great-- the peony looks like it has been done in trapunto even though it hasn't. Thank you, Nancy, Lois, Rita and Danny for your ideas on quilting and for encouraging me to finish at least ONE THING! It is for such a worthy cause!Renata Memories.jpg Love the color choices! Micro stippling black on black.... brave woman. So proud! Nice quilt. Clara |

It's absolutely lovely! I can't wait to see it IRL! Thank you, Diane but don't look too close when you get it... it's a beginner's quilt...  |

I am going to wait and complete another AAQI quilt before I register them and mail so it will be a while before I post them here. We have community wide Porch Sale this next Saturday so I am working to thin out STUFF. I found a container with beautiful batiks that got misplaced when we moved in 98 and it is so cool to find this stuff. No, it won't be in sale!
