Don't look at the little bits that aren't perfect, I think we all have those in our quilts and once you are not concentrating on them because you are thinking about the process of the quilting, you quickly forget they are there and just enjoy the overall effect. I just love how you have interpreted the design, its fab! Oh, and I want your garden. A well, those trees?

It saves the hassle of struggling with a big piece under your machine and doesn't affect the finish. If you like I can give you a link to a handout I have on it.<br />And, don't point out the bits you are unhappy with, accentuate the positive (think that might be a song)Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148803101055301234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833074465049859362.post-22624436731998092282011-10-02T11:16:24.933+01:002011-10-02T11:16:24.933+01:00Love the photo shoot...and a cute little wishing w...Love the photo shoot...and a cute little wishing well!
