You have a good friend indeed. Your quilt is going to be so gorgeous. Which quilt show are you entering? I don't know if we have any doves around here. Since my bird id's are very limited we might possibly but this fellow is so pretty. DH and I were sitting out on the deck the day before yesterday and before we got more snow today with our coffee. There was a Stellar jay singing to his lady and some other small birds but I don't know what they were and probably wouldn't have even if they had been closer to I could see them better (grin). I hope you enjoyed the coffee.
So great to see your fabulous quilt getting near completion!
We have the Collared Doves too. I love them. Especially their fan tails that you can see when they are landing on the bird feeders! They do have a rather raucous call though ~ not nearly so sweet sounding as the morning doves.
I wanted to give you another quilting frame idea too. 4 pieces of 1x2 about 1 foot longer than the quilt. tack a folded piece of twill to each piece so it hangs over the side about 2 inches. Pin your quilt backing to the twill on two opposite sides. Then clamp the other two lengths to the first two with the old fashioned screw type clamps. You can use shorter pieces on the sides if you roll the quilt onto one long piece and re-roll as you work across. That's what I used for years and it's quite storable when not using it. Don't think I have a photo unfortunately. I wanted to mention it as it might work better for a heavily embellished quilt than a hoop type quilt frame.
Absolutely beautiful quilt Gerry!
