  6. Thanks, Sagan! I am not actually making this particular quilt - the Rancher's daughter is. I just volunteered to do the embroidery because she's quite busy. But yes, if I can find pictures of some of the other quilts I've done, I'll post some! Thanks for asking.

  11. Redbush - thanks! I think it's going to look really cute.

    Melissa - when I get the other squares embroidered, I'll post another picture. I cannot take credit for the quilt, though - my step-daughter is the one who is making it - I'm just doing this little bit of embroidery for her.

    Annette - thanks. And congratulations on the new niece/nephew.

    Hilary - thanks. Like I said, I can't really take credit for this.

  12. [Where was this post yesterday? Blogger hates me.]

    That's going to be nice. I actually took the time to enlarge the picture so I could see more detail.

    (Must finish the whole moving thing and arrange the basement so I can sew!)

  13. Thanks, Mary Anne. I wish I could take credit for the whole thing, but it's actually the Rancher's daughter who is making the quilt. I'm just helping out with the embroidery.
