overwhelmed and excited

hi marion, phil, colleen, venetta, linda, helena, dianne, patricia and hilary

what a gorgeous hour my family and i have just had pouring over your beautiful work. congrats hilary on getting this project together - you have pushed and challenged us and the result is exciting - i look forward to moving along with this group and eventually meeting with you all - apart from quilting, most of us have party-ed together and we do that quite well also LOL

i am unable to post comments (???). not sure why, so i am sending an email with all my comments

marion - you 'aunt edna' resonated with me - i love genealogy, i love your work, speciafically the techniques in this piece and i love the way you have shown your aunt edna and her memorabilia quiltingly
phil - being a south african and loving the mountains of natal as well as painting on silk, i so enjoyed your piece.
colleen - wow, had to guess who this one was from - great stuff - beautiful idea and gorgeously done
venetta - i love stones, i love the use of the fed ex envelope. your shadows between each stone was realistically done. gorgeous. also loved the fact that the subject was off centre
linda and dianne - so much thought went into these, conceptually they work so well, the images, colors, techniques, symbols and composition are superb. attention to detail is exciting and so well thought out. we loved these two
helena - having seen your first quilt with all the silk and now this one - so different and so beautiful. what a great idea to copy your 'quilting hand' - i loved the use of the black thread and your quilting stitches. the quilt sure tells a story and is beautiful
patricia - i enjoy the image of links and chains in any art piece. i love that one (?or more) are open and others not. love the background and the 3D look. great subject and piece
hillary - wow - this one didn't look like a quilt. when we enlarged it we saw the techniques and the creativity - wonderful - photo realism - quilt realism - really great, wonderful attention to detail and color. we loved it

where's yours rosie? - your hint looked so interesting - don't keep us waiting too long

much love to you all and looking forward to our next subject!
