You are welcome and thanks again for the high praise. Some would say I have a stubborn attention to detail. It is my type “A” personality in force I think. LOL

Yes, it makes sense. It’s that complete (relentless) attention to detail, as well as exquisite design and perfectly sublime workmanship that sets your quilts apart. What a treat, this blog! Merci.

Thanks Frances! My goal is to share the love.

Yep, I do quilt inside those tiny spaces. If I don’t, they pop up like pillows and it is obvious they were avoided. Machine quilting around embroidery sculpts and defines it on the surface. If you don’t consistently outline quilt all of it, then the unquilted portions float lifeless and flat on the background.

I hope that makes sense. I haven’t drank my morning cup yet.

Sandra, I have just finished re-reading your entire blog (going back to February)– so enjoyable and absolutely INFORMATION DENSE; loaded with techniques and tips I have not encountered anywhere previously. What a wealth of information, inspiration, beautiful photos, and interesting dialog in the comment section. THANK YOU!

(and do you actually quilt in those tiny areas between the stem and the tendril?)
