Not only did you hit contrast spot on with the zebra, but to have machine stitching and hand quilting in the piece is wonderful. The beads in the border are a really nice touch.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368515552194912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-73136793731252234562014-10-18T20:29:33.002-04:002014-10-18T20:29:33.002-04:00Thanks Judy.

It is on my list of things to do. This is beautiful and a reminder that we need to get permission for copyrighted material before we use it. I asked to use a picture of Sherlock Holmes on the back of my quilt last year for Mystery. The artist said that was fine but what was a quilt. I've had people also say no to using lyrics and you have to respect their decision. You did a great job and it looks straight as an arrow to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892795048904708312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-70951217839258328242014-10-15T23:42:53.941-04:002014-10-15T23:42:53.941-04:00Your choice of subject matter, a zebra, is a perfe...Your choice of subject matter, a zebra, is a perfect illustration of contrast.

Your 'thread painting' is a total success, and yes.... thread painting is tedious and your eyes can go crazy, but truly, the successes we share are worth every minute of effort :-D I loved how you used tulle to shade the thread work (which also provided contrast !) And isn't it nice that all of us have the option of switching back and forth between 12 x 12, and 11 x 14 when making our quilts !<br /> ALSO ! The patterns in your red border fabric made me think of "ZENTANGLE" another art form that I'm crazy about :-DKathy Hartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439720411059490863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-12713299133660449792014-10-15T16:18:07.837-04:002014-10-15T16:18:07.837-04:00Oh Nedra, this turned out so well.
