Some of the embroidery looks like "Brazilian" embroidery which is done with rayon thread which has a twist to it. It takes a lot of time just to do small pieces. People across the pond have a different conception of "art/talent than we in the states. I also paint and don't get anywhere near that amount. Prices for objects would be tooooooo great for anyone local to afford.

It is hard to do when you are trying to sell for necessity. I don't think I would sell any of mine if it wasn't because I need to. I enjoy the process and always try to work on things I like and when I am done is hard to part with, so I can understand why she took to long to make up her mind.

You have measurements wrong .
A yard is 36 in but a meter is 39. + inches -almost 40 "
Beauty is in the eye of beholder !!!!!

Way to go Robyne.
I remember seeing some of your handcrafts about 25 or so years ago at a few local festivals - way back when!
Good to see you receive a "nice" financial return after years of polishing your craft.

I love crazy quilts. To me, they are truly works of art. The only way I can describe it is the same as looking at Oriental rugs....the workmanship, colors and patterns are fabulous! The same with crazy quilts, the textures, colors, artwork, stitches just fascinate me. What a wonderful job!
