So that must mean we all grow up and become a bit more subdued in style.<BR/>Happy to hear about the massage business growing.

I've been looking at the different patterns you can buy, now that I'm trying freehand with my machine - not that I'm going to buy any, just for ideas. <BR/><BR/>For all those geese, guess I'd go for something simple too. I've seen some that have the look of puffy clouds, and look almost like a meander at first.<BR/><BR/>The haircut turned out great! Bet it's a lot more comfortable for summer!ForestJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536396154296555583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1150287866302876202006-06-14T08:24:00.000-04:002006-06-14T08:24:00.000-04:00Here you are!!

Yes the colors reminds me to the museum in marken !! They always inspired me to make a quilt with those colors . and here it is. Does the customer know that she used that kind of colors? you can show her a picture. I think I made one inside the little house in Marken .

The Dutch Geese quilt is wonderful! I would choose a gold thread, I think it would look best against the reds and blues and of course the gold. Quilting Pattern? Wow - that is where I always fall back to ones I love. I was thinking maybe clamshells if you don't want to baptist fan it?<BR/><BR/>Jeff and Jason and Shannons pictures are all so wonderful! What great pictures to have! And how great you get to see your mom and them this summer in MN!

They all look happy and that counts for a lot! <BR/><BR/>As to the thread, it's hard to tell from the picture but what about Mother Goose or Baguette? I use those two a lot! I quilted one of my own quilts last week that had lots of brights and I was going ot use gold and ended up using Oyster Shell, a light gray, and it worked great. Not sure if it would blend with the golds but it would sure work with the blues.<BR/><BR/>Judy L.Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720927550545452529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-1150216546405298552006-06-13T12:35:00.000-04:002006-06-13T12:35:00.000-04:00Love the customer quilt..never thought of making p...Love the customer quilt..never thought of making pinwheels from 4 flying geese like that. I think either the gold or the greyish blue would work, I'd lean more toward the blue. I think fans are a perfect choice as nothing really else will show up.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Anne...good looking bunch of kids!
