The clean shapes, strong black lines, and vivid color just have your name all over them!

Thankfully we have found another buyer (for less than we hoped) but they can barely afford the house and I'm constantly stressed that the deal with fall apart. If I can make it through the next month without going crazy I'll be in good shape.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoy all of your shelter peices.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561464255559358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-76227944284166304892008-10-01T16:13:00.000-07:002008-10-01T16:13:00.000-07:00Terry, I laughed at the idea that you are prepared...Terry, I laughed at the idea that you are prepared for a "Melancholy" theme, although I saw more serenity than melancholy.<BR/>This is a lovely quilt - restrained and balanced.
