Clever Hilary

Hilary makes quilts. Yes, and quilts them by hand too. Her latest masterpiece currently has no recipient, so I have the honor of hanging it in my room...


Hilary's Sixth Quilt

..and it has little turtles quilted around the edge..

Whoa, that is absolutely beautiful, not to mention very cool. Please tell Hilary that she is very talented.

:) Thanks, I did.

thats awesome!

One day I am going to add quilting to my repetoire. right now I am overwhelmed by all the sewing and cross-stitching I have to do, so quilts will have to wait. :)

Purdy! Does she sell them?

[identity profile] mrs617.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
She hasn't yet, but she's considered it.

That's cute and very well done! I would never have the patience to sew something all by hand.

That is good! She is a very good sempstress!!!

So cute! What a bunch of clever cookies you have there!

lol, I love your icon! It's often crossed my mind that a very curious tale could be told comic-strip style, with the real dudes. Congrats! You made my morning! :)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! =) That would make for a great comic strip. Maybe it could involve all sorts of famous philosphers through out time. :-D Maybe "Suzy" is supposed to be Susan B. Anthony?

p.s.
Would it be alright if I added you to my friends list?

[identity profile] ashes-311.livejournal.com 2005-10-28 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
No prob, Bob, but for the record, I hardly ever, rarely, never post.

Susan B. Anthony would be great, since I'd love to see her told off by my man Calvin. B-)

Wow, how cute is that? If she were to sell that, how much would it be? My grandma loves turtles.

[identity profile] mrs617.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
She said that she would charge between $100 and $150 for a quilt that size.

[identity profile] moredetails.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Interesting! So.. is she planning to sell it, or does she already have a recipient in mind? I may have to have a little family meeting with my sisters. :)

[identity profile] mrs617.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
She doesn't want to sell this one, but she's more than willing to make another. The only thing is that she's not going to be starting on one before Christmas.

[identity profile] moredetails.livejournal.com 2005-10-28 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh okay. :) No prob!

[identity profile] maiden-canada.livejournal.com 2005-10-26 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That is beautiful!

In her hands she possesses that lovely gift that epitimizes womanhood and the gentle arts that adorn a lady-- that is, to give life-- to create-- to beautify what has been given to her.

[identity profile] kimana83.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Very cut! Lucky you, getting to have it for a while. =o)

[identity profile] kimana83.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Cut? *hangs head* I meant cute. Ack.

[identity profile] mrs617.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, lucky me is right! I love having it there on my wall!

[identity profile] 617.livejournal.com 2005-10-27 10:36 am (UTC)(link)
If she's as ruthless at business as she is at board games I think she'll make a killing!
