Thank you....

I just want to say thank you for all of the kind and generous words about my red & white Nearly Insane quilt. If you haven't heard back from me then you are set to "no reply" and I can't contact you personally though. It means so much to hear nice things when you've put so many hours into a project, although my family is also very complementary.

It has been hard to break-up with the reds and whites though....so I finished this little wall hanging just a little while ago.

 

It's another one of the season samplers from Crabapple Hill and I love how it combines embroidery, wool, beading and quilt blocks to make a cute little quilt. I am going to quilt this myself and I'm open to suggestions on quilting in the embroidery area...idea's anyone?

I think I'm going to move my Pie's and Tart's to my downstairs sewing area so that I can get the rest of them ready to applique and that means putting the red and white fabric away...sigh....

Well I'm off to do some cleaning...have a great evening everyone!

I like red & white quilts, so you just keep pumping them out. I do like the new one with the wintery stitchery in the middle.

Love this one! I'm nuts about red and white so I'm enjoying your show. :-)

Love all your work - reds and white are great. How did you pre-treat your reds so you had no problem with bleeding?

Hi Ranette,

What a gorgeous little wall hanging. I love red and white. My last quilt was red and white and I still have plenty of reds left :)

Hugs,
