    Hi Eddie, I've done a Louisa Smith, beautiful how they turn out. Wonder about the Cathedral Window you had started. Did you finish it or???? Can't wait to see how that turned out with the batiks. Ellen

    Eddie, Your wall hanging is so beautiful. I am sure Louisa Smith would be thrilled to see an example of her design. I wish you would send her a pic of it! She is at [email protected] :thumbup:

    Incredible Eddie. Wonderful use of batiks. I used to paint too and now find fabric to be a much nicer way to put together color.
