    Thanks so much - I'm really enjoying it too! The quilting used to be like a hurdle to get over to finish a project, now I'm loving it as much as the piecing. And I'm obsessed with stippling - I'm just going round some motifs on a d9p - if I don't control myself, all my quilts will be stiff as boards and I'll have to buy shares in Superior Threads! LOL

    Your quilting is great. You did a nice job on all of them.

    Bettia, I'm sorry but the stained glass fabric was just a scrap that I had passed on to me by my Mum's neighbour - no selvedge info I'm afraid. She's French and I've no idea where she bought it or if she'll even remember! Next time I see her, I'll ask.

    Thanks everyone - it's because of all the encouragement and inspiration I've found here that I can do this so a big thank you to you all!!!

    Aaahh now with your track record it is not a fluke that you are so gifted doing these feathers!! You are talented at anything you try! I admit it takes a little practice to do something new but you did a great job on these!
