Marian Edwards and I swapped goodies! Now Marian is the sweetest Lady, and she was a customer of mine, and we have become friends, and I only wish she lived nearby, but she lives in Australia!
She is BRILLIANT- and I mean she blows me away.. with her ability to
combine fabrics. This is her fantastic talent; She is not afraid to combine fabrics of all colours and patterns, to produce a final look which is breathtaking. Now I could try to combine a bunch of fabrics, but it would come out looking like a bunch of busy colors, -conflicting. Not so with Marian's work. I cannot wrap my mind around how she does it, but her combinations create a feel, and a look, that is incredibly nostalgic, and very desirable.
She makes doll quilts. She stitches together the tiniest if fabric fragments, flawlessly. So, when this came in the mail from Down Under, I flipped out!~ lol
Now this is artistry.
Not only that...She sent this gorgeous cross stitch, a Sandra Sullivan design, with little scissors; I love the fact that there is a P at the top...
NOT ONLY THAT.... (I told You it was a shocker) but she sent this AWESOME pinkeep, which matches the quilt, and is adorned with an olde key.
NOT ONLY THAT LOL, but she sent me some crafting supplies, and civil war style fabrics!!!!!
OMG
THANK YOU!! My birthday is a few days away, and I will be admiring my lovely primitives from Australia,
(note the little dots after her name...(above)she really goes the extra mile, with the finest of detail) She not only quilts, not only stitches but she also weaves. Seriously. Far out talent. OH why can't she live next door! lol
