Well, I think this quilt is going to be the last one that i get done in time for the gallery to get it hung. Here are some bad light pics - I like it - the purple is corduroy - the chartreuse is a linen blend - I used double threads of sapphire thread to FMQ with - I wanted to bring down the brightness of the green a touch -- I think it worked out nice. Good thing I love to quilt. ------ Drag queen quilter!

I hope its busy at the show and that I can sell some goodies! I might even have the energy to do drag. I hide the quilting sometimes - but, then - there are time I want it to be crazy obvious. Only have to bind three quilts and get them though the wash by 330 tomorrow. Time to relax a bit b-4 bed tonight! ------ Drag queen quilter!

I don't like blue very much, and am not wild about purple, but when purple is mixed with lime green (in any of its shades) I think it is a knockout. Your fmq looks great. ------ Barb

One of the things on my bucket list is to learn to zendoodle... I would love to incorporate that into a quilt! ------ Bernina Artista 630 ✂ Bernina Aurora 430 ✂ Bernina 1300MDC ✂ Babylock BLCS ✂ APQS Millennium ✂ Singer 201-2 ✂ Singer 301 ✂ Singer 401A ✂ Singer 15-91 ✂ Singer Featherweight 222K ✂ Singer Featherweight 221 www.tinkletimes.com
