It has been done for a week or so, but I have a rule where I can not take a quilt off of the quilting machine until I have a new one to to put on. So far it is working well.

This is one I'd like to see in person! Did you paint the fabric of the flower petals? It is just gorgeous!

The the petals are painted with the oil paint sticks and oil pastels, as well as thread. Each flower has at least 6 colors of thread. For free motion embroidery I usually use two colors in the top of slightly different shades.
