    I don't even know if I will be able to post a picture, I'll try. I mainly enjoy doing wallhangings, and real glass quilts as well. If I'm doing this wrong, or posting pics to the wrong place, somebody please tell me.

    I love the stories of quilts, and the work that goes into them. It's so much fun to see what everybody is making. Quilts just make life better!

    Fantastic projects! Wonderful quilted wall hangings and your stained glass work is sooooo good!!! How long have you been doing your stained glass artwork? Is it hard to do?

    Hi Mavis, I've been doing my stained glass for close to 20 years. When you're first learning, it seems hard, lots of broken glass that's for sure. But you hang in there, and keep challenging yourself. It's just like quilting, yes? You start with simple lines, then you graduate to harder cuts, such as curves, etc. If you have the desire, you can do it. I took one lesson from a woman who taught me how to do a suncatcher, from there, you just do what pleases YOU, again, like quilting. :-)

    Thanks Helen. I was glad to see I could upload the pics, when I first got on the site, there was so much information I thought I would make a mistake. I'm still intimidated by computer stuff! :-)

    Hi, welcome to the world of sharing here on the board. It is great to see what other quilters are up to and the ideas are amazing. So glad to see you have shared your beautiful pieces with us. You did great in the postings. Your stained glass was an added bonus. That's something I always wanted to do but just never got around too. Probably a good thing though in a way. It may have dipped into my quilting money and that is definitely a no no lol. Keep those posts coming
