Off the stamping topic, but still with crafting!

My friend (and member of my stamping club) Joyce, created this quilt for her oldest daughter. I just had to take a photo of it. I am in awe of what a quilter can do and what intricate patterns can be created.

The colours chosen go so well together, and as I understand, this is to be a wall hanging quilt. The outer edge still needs be finished but I am sure it will be done shortly.

The stitching (a local gentleman did this) is just so cool too, that I just had to take a close up of that. I am so jealous that I can't do this. It is the one craft I have never tried, although I have attempted paper quilting it really never turns out with the same effect as with fabric.

Please feel free to leave comments here, Joyce does read this and would love to hear what you have to say.

I will not have time in the next few weeks for a catalog reveal, so please email me to sign up. Here are some questions I've had about clubs over the years I've been offering them. What is a Club?
