    You have a right to be pleased. It was a lot of work. My favorite parts are Col's sub, and the church. What a wonderful job you did and all that detail......!!

    Doing "5 Windows" across my row: Perrine Bridge over the Snake River - Shoshone Water Falls (from Snake River) - Evel Knievel Snake River Canyon Jump site - Sawtooth Mountains at Stanley Lake - and an Idaho Representation Block. It seems like it is taking me "forever"! :roll: :roll:

    Like minds must run down the same river!!! Keep thinking I should have done something a little simplier .... however Herman says it looks great.

    Love the idea of Col's submarine in your row. If I put Herman's shop in mine .... I'd be loosing my mind by now (table saw - band saw - drill press - clamps - more saws (don't know the name of some) ..... too many details!!!

    Hello all, back again. Finally found some time to design and cut and paste. Have to get to the sewing yet. Here's a sneak peek of what I've achieved so far. I'm thinking I will be sending these at the end of the week, sewn on, but lacking their final detail. Maybe I can do that at the quilting stage, when they're all done. I promise I WILL NOT do this to anyone elses.They will be completed before I send them. :thumbup: I just seem to be a little short on time. All Waynes fault of course, and he will be having more surgery very shortly, so more time for handsewing!!Yeah...
    Enough rambling, here's The Shrine, a tram, and Flinders Street Station. Not sure that I really like my rendition of the station, so may/may not use it. :lol:
    I think when it's back I'll add The Eternal Flame to the foreground of the Shrine, and do the tram overhead wires and tram tracks and if I use it, will add the clocks to the station. :-P
