Finished!

Yesterday I finished the latest barn project and hopefully my customer will be pleased with it.


A couple of close-ups
(all pictures...I think....should be clickable so you
can see further details)


Terrible angle for the photo but was trying to show the lilac details


Today's quote..."Happiness is a choice, not a result.  Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.  No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy.  Your happiness will not come to you.  It can only come from you"

  3. The latest barn is really lovely. The detail in your stitching is so intricate. I'm using a tablet so I just stretched the pix to zoom in. Your client will be very happy!

  5. Sigh. Looking at the picture in your last post I wondered, "what can she possibly do to make this better? To make it finished?" I had no idea, but I figured you would blow me away again. All that quilting detail is just amazing. I'm sure the owner of this piece is going to be in love with what you've created.

    1. You're so good for my ego! This one is being purchased for giving at Christmas so won't know if the ultimate owners will be happy with it - hopefully they will!

  6. I love being able to embiggen photos! Some people’s photos look as if they haven’t been focussed until you click on them and see the perfect picture. Your photos are perfect, of course, but certainly embiggening them means we can see all those beautiful stitches you’ve used! Your picture is brilliant! Excellent work, Mary Anne, as always! I especially love the grass ...... and the beautiful lilac bush!

  7. Congrats on another great barn! So many lovely details :)
    I'm having some mysterious blog experiences at the moment...for example, on my screen, the font of your post is huge, but the comments are teeny! No idea why, but it's something new.
