I'm so proud of you :-) We're all so very glad to have you with us.

Code always intrigued me, but I never could figure it out except the ones that "Encyclopedia Brown" books used over and over again. Great fun and your quilting sets it off with the metallic thread!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368515552194912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-39946362875815359752012-05-16T19:59:17.170-04:002012-05-16T19:59:17.170-04:00This is wonderful!

Rita taught some of us locally (I had to miss that lesson!) how to do this, and one of her MM quilts was based on this concept. How exciting this is, for us to learn from and get inspiration from one another. But the results of your "curved line alphabet" spelling out MYSTERY are, truly, spectacular and amazing, to use two adjectives from others' comments. Wow, wow, wow--all of these quilts so far are just beyond wonderful! And we've not seen them all yet! Judy, what an addition YOU are to our group, and we can thank Kathy for that, too!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-86772085090103295942012-05-15T22:12:48.665-04:002012-05-15T22:12:48.665-04:00I am blown away by how much thought and work you p...I am blown away by how much thought and work you put into this piece.

The 7 letters in the word mystery were each assigned a specific line shape. I combined those 7 lines to 'spell' the word in graph form using a 4" square. Kathy Harte sent me directions for a straight line version of the alphabet but I made it original with curved lines. Is that clear as mud? :)JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13873703819530569975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-27557090773134308012012-05-15T20:41:57.508-04:002012-05-15T20:41:57.508-04:00Spectacular, Judy!

I have always feared messing up my machine with metallic thread after my first attempts and then hearing a lecture not to mess with the bobbin. But with your super tutorial, maybe anything is possible. Your comments are so thoughtful, I am not surprised to see this intricate and beautiful piece you have created. And what an interesting tack on the word. I need to contemplate or try harder to understand the creation of a curved line alphabet and assigning letters.
