OVER THE RIVER and finished! (with picture of same)

Oooh lovely! Those colours are a perfect complement to the quiet embroidery. . In message , joan8904 in Bellevue Nebraska writes

Oh, Joan! As usual, your work is wonderful! I love that quilt! I'm so glad I was able to see it (a few internet problems today -- very few messages getting through). :)

I love this quilt! Brings back so many memories. Thanks for sharing, joan.

In my opinion, this case of "done" is magnificent! I love this quilt.

And if you'll excuse the vulgarity, 'Oh, shit.' I got the geese going the wrong direction on the right side. And you know what? They are going to stay that way.

Joan, this is the most beautiful Over The River I've seen - just lovely. And I wouldn't worry at all about the geese on the right side of the quilt - if anyone asks, that's just your twist on the original pattern. There's no law against that!

I just love this quilt Joan!

How beautiful! Your embroidery looks great from here. The whole quilt looks just lovely.

It's great!!! And I think that most everyone will be looking at your lovely embroidery instead of the direction of geese - I know I was. :)

Oh, WOW! Beautifully done! I love your choice of colors! What a lot of hard work, but what a wonderful outcome! ME-Judy

So very pretty!

If it helps any, when we were traveling last summer we saw Fields of Geese teaching the younger ones how to fly. Needless to say they were NOT all going one way or the other. Some were even going in circles.

Absolutely beautiful, Joan. I'm usually not a big fan of subtle colors, but I really, really like this one. Fabulous work!

HA! I never noticed.

I love it! And if the geese really bother you -- send it to me and I'll fix them for you and get it back to you... just have no idea when? ;-)

i never noticed the geese rebelling either. but, i like a little rebelion once in a while! (tee-hee) those colors work so well. very calming and wintry.

love it! amy in CNY

This is absolutely STUNNING! I love everything about it, color choice, balance, etc, etc......if those qeese want to fly this-a-way, I live over the river, and they can set on my riverbank anytime. It's just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donna

It's beautiful, no matter which way those geese are flying!
