A name and a few finishing touches and "She" is completed!!

I put "her" on a stand in the back yard in the and a friend took the pictures.  We were battling the  wind and sun but I think they came out nicely. These are close ups of the  some of the flowers.

In full sun

Now I need a new adventure!!!!!!!!

    Shirlee, this is just intense! So magnificent! Road to California takes CQs, can be entered digitally online for $10, and has a entry date of October 1st. Please enter it!!!

    The IQA show in Cincinnati is another place to try; it is in the spring.

    And that's just the quilt world. You could enter any fiber art/embroidery show in the world and this would win! Congratulations, Shirlee...you've accomplished something huge here... xoxo allie
