Tuesday Tootsday Treat

I know I'm always making excuses for my camera... it's a very simple one that only ever gets used on the automatic setting... and, considering everything... it does good at picture taking, good enough for my blog blurb, most of the time... Sometimes though... if only I could do a quilt properly proud by owning a super-duper camera and, more importantly,  knowing how to use the darn thing.... 
it's time for that quilt to be 'done proud'
I give you Tuesday Tootsday...
Maid Marion finished her Heirloom quilt... 
You will have watched her progress if you have been reading this blog for a while. It Is Stunning.
It weighs a lot too... all those layers, all the embroidery... the Trapunto and ribbon and lace and cording
 The folded 3 dimensional bits... the sashings and pin-tucks,  beads and bows and quilting... there's so much to look at... I really tried to get a great photo and I am hoping you can click on the picture to see the detail better. We're all wishing Maid Marion had kept a tab of how many hours she worked on this labour of love... hindsight is a wonderful thing... no matter now though... it's finished and it's a beauty...
Toot Toot Toot Maid Marion!

Congratulations Marion. I only got to see a small part of the work, but even then I knew it would be something very special. Helen
