The use of a decorative stitch to outline the design is perfect and of course the beading and quilting are superb!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368515552194912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-51835511632115511102013-11-16T19:15:30.816-05:002013-11-16T19:15:30.816-05:00Rita, it's amazing that you could find those b...Rita, it's amazing that you could find those beautiful lilies in batik fabric. I will have to try that. Thanks for the details of your techniques.

I have to add another to this quilt, Rita! ALL of your quilts are beyond beautiful, and I'd hate to have to pick my favorite, but right now, I am thinking that this wins the Alice Prize! I've now got to order that book! Every time you mention a book, it promptly causes to to support Amazon with my business once again! I am most eager to see this in person!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-62593948689498467422013-11-16T08:20:30.855-05:002013-11-16T08:20:30.855-05:00Yes, babies are truely comforting....................Yes, babies are truely comforting.................Thank you for being you.Rita Schormannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-34225311962772710302013-11-16T08:17:13.143-05:002013-11-16T08:17:13.143-05:00Yes, it is gallery wrapped.

From there I will choose it as my desktop photo to view even closer and marvel longer. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this art quilt! My favorite flower in mom's garden was her Enchantment Asiatic Tiger Lily which I now grow also. This was also the bridal flower of choice in both mine and my youngest daughter's wedding! Your details are truly stunning and the embroidery work is awesome. Stranger yet is the William Morris quote, which I posted in my house last winter to help me decide which things to keep and what to let go. I'll definitely look for the book you recommended and try the one fabric inspiration idea.
