Isn't it just awesome! I would love to be able to make something even half as beautiful as this. Another rose seems so little for such beauty but i finally got to add one more. M

Breathtaking. You do awesome work. Your sister is lucky to have such a talented sibling.

This is the most beautiful quilt that I have seen, and you do really beautiful work. I am sure your sister will treasure it forever. A flower for you.

This Quilt is spectactular . There is no doubt about it You should enter this in a Quilt Show and I know you would win a Blue Ribbon. It is so realistic. Many poppies for you.

That is the most beautiful piece of art. you have a very lucky sister. You should enter this in many art contests.

WOW, what great workmanship. I wished I were your sister. Amazing. A bouquet of flowers, are not enough for this one.

This quilt is awesome! Fabulous, flowers for all.

Like "lhart" stated I thought the quilt was hanging on the wall behind the items below it. It is incredible to know the items below the quilt are actually part of the quilt. I am still looking at it and trying to figure it out. STUNNING PIECE OF WORK!!!!

Hi :-)..No all you see is either Applique(cat..poppies..little bear..the picture is an embroidery from http://www.bfc-creations.com/Desi...
which has been sewn out then appliqued on)or Embroidery Thankyou Dianne

wow what a stunning project. Flowers

wow - this is amazing, you are so talented!

this is amazing you did a fantastic job.

This is fantastic - looks just like you are looking out a window! Do you want to teach a class in this? Would love to try it!

Absolutely FANTASTIC! Your window can compete with Tiffany's stained glass! What a wonderful imagination! My sincere compliments! You deserve not a flower but a whole bunch!

Congratulations for your super quilt, its really stunning. You have great talent, a well deserved flower for you

It's a masterpiece! A window in a fantastic world

It's a masterpiece! A window in a fantastic world

I just wanted to add that years ago I went to a quilt class and it was the most scaryist thing I couldn't get anything Right so I went home in tears.. :-(
Then I decided to do what I wanted to do and if I did it wrong then "tuff" so I taught myself..like this ..I got a picture had it photocopied to the size I wanted.Traced it onto Iron on..cut out the sections..chose fabric to fit the picture and used the Applique stitch on my machine to sew it back together onto calico ..then wadding and baking fabric and you have done it...Have a go you never know..and it coud be addictive...Dianne

Dianne, I hope you don't mind I saved a picture of this in my quilt files - but I just couldn't sit on it - I sent it to a friend to show her what you had done and she wants to have her daughter write to you - is there a way that we can do that - my email is on AOL the same as here.
