    Very cute!

    Try using 'denim' needles when you're using that silver stuff, or when doing totes. I use them a lot and never have a problem with breaking.

    silver stuff was already quilted from Jo-Anns, with coupon $6/yd. there may be better 'silver stuff' out there, but i wanted it in a hurry as mom's b-day is just around the corner.

    thanks for the compliments! it's so nice to have 'friends' to share with that 'get it'!

    Great job. I am sure it was worth all the headache and bent needles.

    I've used Insulbrite a few times & never had a problem with the needle. but it wasn't prequilted. Nice project, love the cow fabric.
