What a great idea to collage on top of the quilted surfaces. When I am trying out a new quilting pattern, I always start on a white square of sandwiched material which I have stacked next to my machine. Maybe I should do something with those...Vivika Hansen DeNegrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13605674432255109484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853191930182401738.post-63146624559464329562009-06-12T21:50:59.558+01:002009-06-12T21:50:59.558+01:00Thanks Sandra - Did you have a great time in Summer School.Mai-Britt Axelsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12600825498029508728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853191930182401738.post-89791119814161274712009-06-12T21:47:26.733+01:002009-06-12T21:47:26.733+01:00Welcome back - missed you!sandra wymanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04513871393590385611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853191930182401738.post-62446579168790465592009-06-12T21:44:47.858+01:002009-06-12T21:44:47.858+01:00Oh Gosh, thank you all so much - I&#39;m overwhelmed by your responce..........<br /><br />I shall get back to looking at your blogs promtly - I have missed you!Mai-Britt Axelsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12600825498029508728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853191930182401738.post-23968457270104476162009-06-12T21:30:20.498+01:002009-06-12T21:30:20.498+01:00These are wonderful!

I love the looseness of your first efforts as well -- contrasts nicely with the close quilting, which is in itself free in its variations.
