    The new 'Duchess' is going along very nicely. The inset cording gives the effect of "hardanger" pulled thread embroidery….great added dimension! That lacy feel will be very much in keeping with the overall theme, I think. Summer, for me, is packed back to back with family "special days" and events. Will have to be content with quilting 'vicariously' through others til Fall! Am so in love with your book…it is so nice to have it to 'thumb through' when away from the machine AND 'puter.

    I'm so glad that you are showing so much of the behind the scenes work. (Or perhaps it should be called behind the seams??)

    Anyway, I've finished up a few quilts that I didn't love because my thread choices were wrong. I loved quilting them and my workmanship was good, but the colors look dull and lacked the right punch when I finished.

    I should have taken the time to practice on a finished piece to see what the effects would look like before diving in.

    Thanks, as always, for the great inspiration!
