I absolutely love your quilting. I've admired it for some time here on the forum and just had to say that it is beautiful. Perhaps I can send a photo of a quilt I want done and see if I can afford it.

This quilt is really outstanding and your quilting makes it even more so. Beautiful work.

And Jill, this is quite a beauty. I hope you're entering it into a contest. I deserves loads of awards.

One more thing, Charisma, I often wish you would include before photos of the quilts. It would be great to compare the unquilted version with the final version.
Hi Jillaine,

I posted a pic of this quilt last year in July (I posted several quilts I had made-this was among the three in the first posting-check my topic log) to see it un-quilted. I agree Charisma's quilting really enhances the quilts she does! I am so pleased with this one! Thanks for the kind words! I never have enough confidence to enter quilts in shows-especially when I see the ones entered!! But thanks!

congrats, Kutnso

After originally planning to hand-applique it (I do mostly hand-applique), I decided to machine applique it with smoke colored invisible thread because I had just gotten a new machine. It turned out great-I was happy with the results!

Yep-after making quilts for all my family (including nieces and nephews, Aunt and Uncle) and for friends, I decided it was about time! Until I saw this quilted, I sort of had the idea to give it to my sister for her birthday, but I think she'll have to be satisfied with a spa voucher or something!! This is the first one I've kept!!
