I had to show you that your hints over the years did not fall on stony ground.
It is also amazing how many lurkers there are to this group. Since posting the picture yesterday tea time I have had 1,629 people visit my website. That was up to midnight last night. I have only posted about my quilt on this newsgroup. Thanks Butterfly for your faith in me. Hugs Shirley

I'm pretty jealous. I like the more natural look too. It has been so dry here I don't even have much in the way of the usual weeds. It's weird.

Shirley Sh> Thank you.
I'M A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And so, Shirley, are you. And YOU have the tangible evidence at hand.
Well, I do too, every time I use my 'summer purse' with the *Shirley Shone of England Original* Butterflies. And, yes, I still get asked where I 'bought' the purse (handbag) :)
Still strutting for you

My 'persistent' patience paid off for both of us. I'm as happy as a clam over this.
Huggles Butterfly (now REST a few days before starting anything else and just ENJOY it. Give your heart a bit of time to recuperate)
Don't know about Butterfly, but I'm not disappointed! Looks very attractive to me. (Would look great in my guest room, for example.) Roberta in D

Shirley, it's beautiful. I love the colors you used in it. I think you should give quilting another try.
Hugs, Mika
I wonder if *any* of us think our projects look as good as we wanted. I might love a finished quilt or needlework item, but there is ALWAYS something I am just not overly happy with :-)! I'm always saying I could have done something better but I still subscribe to the "man on a galloping horse" school of quilt appraisal -- LOLOL! CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Shirley, that is a lovely quilt! You have a fine sense of design, and I bet anyone would be proud to own that quilt. Your other works show so much talent, too! I do hope you don't stop quilting, I look forward to seeing more of your work.
BTW, I lust for your garden!
It's all Springtime colors. Cute! Debra in VA See my quilts at
I think your quilt is beautiful. :) Just think, you finished a whole quilt! You should be proud and excited!
