The first photo is of the one small thing that I kept for myself out of the exchange, it is a card table sized tablecloth made entirely of the batik fabrics. The other photo is of a stars quilt top from a block of the month (purchased all at once) all batiks from the US last year and I started sewing it while DH was recovering, I was able to escape to the sewing room everyday for a little while. I am now thoroughly in love with batiks.
Cheers all,

PS, I am having trouble attaching photo files.

WOW, That is just gorgeous.

Pat,
Wonderful!!

Beautiful, Pat!

Pat your quilt is absolutely beautiful. I love the pattern you have chosen and I think the quilting really enhances the whole thing. Was that done on a longarm or a domestic machine?

Pat, love it! Love it! Love it! Congratulations!
Cheers,
Shirley

Great questions to Carol about pictures!! I was wondering the same thing, but didn't think to ask. I'm sure glad you did.

I too have finished my triangle quilt!! I finished hand stitching the binding the other day, and now only need a label on it. Then I need to photograph it for the book.

I am thrilled with my quilt! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN to all who participated!! I have such a sweet keepsake from all my quilting sisters around the world!

Carol, do you have any words of wisdom or guidelines for the pictures you want for the book? Flat on the wall? Close ups? Backs? Draped creatively on furniture? Do we write something up?

I'm down to the binding and quilt label too! This quilt is a treasure to me. I've had fun every step of the way. I'll be posting it soon. Bev

Hooray...I am finally making progress on my HST quilt. I have struggled with making decisions on what to do because I wanted it to be very special. I should have it finished by the May 1 deadline...and hopefully quilted, too. If not quilted, maybe I can get a good photo anyway. It's rather large and I'm a very inexperienced machine quilter, so who knows how long that process might take !!

MaryJo that's why I got a long arm this year. I have a few years b4 my original plan to retire at 67 but with the airlines defaulting on my pension & wall street on my savings, I'm hoping the longarm will eventually create a way to retire. So glad you're having a quilting good time!
