This was my very first quilt, I love quilting too, well peicing, as so far I have left the quilting to those with real quilting talent! A wonderful quilter named Marcie Love quilted this with Trapunto and it is wonderful. My daughter had been asking for it for months and I had it hanging in my house and kept telling her it was a full size and her bed a queen, it would not work; she measured and said it would. I told her I could not part with it as it was my first and left it at that. I did not take it down until the night before we were having Christmas with them and wrapped it with the 2 matching pillow cases. she screemed she was so surprised! I made the other pillows for the next year matching the colors in the roses.

There was much screaming and jumping up and down, when she realized what it was.. I had wrapped the pillow cases seperate and let her open them first, so first she was just kind of confused, but then it hit her and she started screaming and quickly grabbed the large package and tore into it....then the jumping and screaming.

Thank you and I have been having a ball on the cute site. Everyone has been so welcoming what a great place to meet people with the same passions. I have more pictures, but my old computer at home doesn't have a slot to put the camera memory card in, so will have to do it Monday when I get the time at work.

Mary, I actually do have others, just got to get the pictures. I will try to get them this week end and post on Monday. I do love my quilts. I also have one my grandmother made my mother in 1951 and made me a doll quilt just like it, I have them both. My doll quilt is a little tattered, but still very much in tact, I will get pictures of them and share also.

Mary, sounds like you really enjoy traveling with your husband, that is so nice...but how do you not prick your finger had stitching in the truck. I used to cross stitch in the car, but that was a blunt needle and going between the linen fibers....I am afraid I would have bloody stubs with in the first 50 miles! Have a great trip and talk to you when you get back.
