It might seem like a pretty easy task when you hear it was purple with golden thread and butterflies. I am not a purple, golden or butterfly person. I struggle for 2 days, bought some fabric to go with it, and it is a masterpiece (if I do say so myself). It is one of the most intricate projects I have ever started (no, it still isn't finished), but it is something I NEVER would have done without that PUSH of uncomfortable.

So, you'd better be careful who you gift that quilt to!!<br /><br />If I was a child, I'd be terrified to sleep under it. (Although there'd always be something to blame your feet or your farts on.) And as an adult, I'd never use it on my bed because it wouldn't be good feng shui and I'd think it was stealing all my good karma. So, perhaps the only person you could gift this to would be an old-school Catholic priest who is familiar with exorcism and not afraid of sleeping next to the devil because he's got Jesus on his side.<br /><br />Anyway ..... that's what I see. (But then, I have a very vivid imagination.)Sandy aka Doris the Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135704111702244735noreply@blogger.com
