I have always been a 'big stitch' quilter, so it's nice to see others doing it too. {by big stitch I mean taking a large running stitch for quilting} For years now, I have used perle cotton threads to add to the look of the quilt and am now using my supply of DMC threads, ie: plain old 6-strand cotton floss. Granted, dragging the embroidery floss through the layers of fabric and batt tend to wear it thin, but....
Deborah, the moonlight is part of the Crows piece. I need to take a complete picture of it, then it will make more sense.
I check in on Dorothy and Deborah's blogs every day too!
I read Jude's blog too, and I'm alway's seeing refs to it as I follow around. I think she appeals to lots of us whatever our "style", because of her amazing approach to life!

I'm looking forward to seeing it. I also find Jude a great inspiration.
