Thanks for showing my buffalo, aka " Mr. Black Hills Bison"! FYI…….he won a 1st place ribbon at the Abilene, TX quilt show back in June and so did my deer. I saw your collage quilts and fell in love with the process, so thanks for all your postings and inspiration, I do learn a lot from reading your blog. I am working on a St. Bernard dog for someone right now. ….Am I LUCKY #21?
Very inspiring to see all of the lovely collages. I am finally working on picking out colors for a small quilt. I think the color is the most difficult process since you really can't see the end result! Love your posts!
I'm inspired. This is such a great series!
Woohooo! Leslie, I am so excited to be a winner! I'm considering this a birthday present (it was the 11th), so it is extra special! You have been blessed with such unique talents. Thank you sooo much!
Wow !!! How exciting to see my quilt posted on your blog, Leslie !!!!! He has been named "Sunny " by my friends at the quilt shop !!
I am truly honored……you have given me so much inspiration from your blog….I am truly blessed !
I do hope we can meet up soon !!!
Hugs, Chris
