Thank you. I'm sure she will. She's very happy and very easy to please. I was amazed while watching her Mom though. When she thought I was busy with Kim, she was touching and feeling all over the quilted areas and looked like she was fighting tears. A good friend of hers in IL is also a hand quilter and has won prizes. I'm basically non competitive so have never entered a juried quilt show. We have one here Jan. 2011 and several are trying to talk me into it. I put quilts into 2 shows in IL and was so stressed out the entire time and they were just on display. They didn't have any security and I'm very uneasy about even displaying a quilt now although nothing happened to mine.
thank you

Thank you. I love the detail that hand quilting can add to a quilt since for now I'm very free motion quilting challenged. Maybe one day but obviously not yet.

Thank you. I just had to do them. I use polyester batting which is why the quilt puffs the way it does plus I don't use a frame or a hoop as my family and I love the puffy look I'm getting.
