I really hope you do write more about the story of this quilt and your thoughts while making it. The quilt itself is breathtaking and I can tell it contains multitudes, and not just thread. Congratulations :)

It's absolutely gorgeous! I just took up embroidery last month after being intimidated by it for many years so I am extra appreciating all those beautiful details! Crossing my fingers for rain for you in Oregon, and for us here in Colorado. It's already been stressful re: fire threat this year and i am tired.

Omg you finished it!!! It’s so Gorgeous. Congratulations! I feel inspired to pick up something from my giant mountain of unfinished projects. Or even better I could start a quilt project that I’ll never finish! 😂

So tempted to fly down to San Fran Frisco for this! I think I still have a free room in the Sunset and that may clench it. It'd be so nice to see Oakland again.....

Congratulations!! That is quite the feat.

I wanted to share with you that I recently lent my mom my Wildwood books only to have her call me later to let me know she wouldn’t be returning them because she loves the illustrations so much. Of course I was delighted that she loves them as much as I do and look forward to getting myself new copies. The covers are so beautiful!
