Mary's Quilt

     Thank you everyone who responded to my post yesterday. Help me out here, did Blogger change the responding protocol? Everyone who responded was as a no reply comment poster and I know you are not and have not been. Any ideas how to fix this?  

   My friend Elizabeth's sister, Mary, sews awesomely. She was a tailor/seamstress for many years with her own shop. She is now retired and taking on quilting. She made this absolutely awesome Drunkard Path's quilt with fabric she had been collecting. She embroidered these gorgeous flowers on the blank blocks that are all different and equally stunning. When she said she was taking it to a longarmer to have pantos (pantos are like finger nails on a chalkboard for me), I almost fainted. There is no way I could let someone quilt all through those gorgeous embroideries, so I offered to quilt it. I normally do not quilt for others- too much pressure and fear. I knew I had to quilt this one. I tried not to overwhelm it, but let the flowers shine. I love the way it turned out and so did she.

GORGEOUS work, Linda! As to the no-reply - some of them are and there's nothing you can do about it. Others (like mine) are there but they don't show, so if you hit reply my email should appear in the to line (and least that's what happens on my machine if the commenter is in my contact list).

What a great quilting job! Yes, that one needed to NOT be quilted all over. Blogger has become a pain! I have several people's email addresses saved, and I can reply to those, but everyone comes up as no-comment, and that is aggravating to everyone.

I was going to say the same as the others, hit reply and if an email address comes up you can reply. Some will still be no reply if you have never had email conversations with them before.

The quilt is a beauty and your quilting really enhances it.
