Thank you all, for your congratulations and words of praise! It means a lot to me! She (her name is Rio, as in Rio de Janeiro) lived with me for so long, that I feel she is part of me! It was hard to box her up and send her away! When I was younger, I was a make-up artist at a high end spa and resort. Doing her eyes, brought back memories! And, by some strange placement of her irises, her eyes will follow you as you move from left to right of the quilt.
For any of you who get to see her in her travels (Sharon? Nancy?) I would love some feedback! What do viewers say about her, and think about her. And, yes, I understand the complete challenge collection will be going to the Longmont show. I'd love to go, but last minute airfare from here is just too much!
Thanks again!
Dawn
