the complete Orange Panel. Terry did an excellent job on the binding! It is simply a work of art - great teamwork!
If you CLICK on the picture, you can see it larger - and all the stitching!

The orange panel is done and you can see the beauty of the design along with the free motion machine quilting!

the second panel begins! I still have to add the upper sections of the tree of life the some members are still working on. It's a "happy" tree!

We're all sewn up! Julie and I did the seams today, me sewing and she holding the bulk of the quilt. Then we went to Leah's store and photographed it on the floor, while Julie was standing on the store counter. Quite a picture! It's not a perfect shot, but Jen put the 3 pictures together in photoshop and voila - we have it. I'm hoping for some better pictures at the City Council meeting tomorrow. Isn't it FUN!
