"When the Darknight Seems Endless" is hung!

"When the dark night seems endless"

The quilt was hung yesterday. I don't know why the wall looks to be that color since it is a dark blue-gray.

I belong to a needle crafters group in our development and I showed it yesterday to the group. Of course they loved the quilt. It made me feel good.  I got a nice email from someone in the group last night.

"I Just wanted to send you a quick note and tell you, I think your quilt you shared with us today, has to be the most gorgeous quilt I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!"


 I don't think I ever mentioned that I am taking an independent study class this year with Elizabeth Barton. I mainly took the class to get motivated to make some of the quilts  that I have had on the back burner for years. This canal house one goes back to about 2010.


This is what she said about the quilt:

EB:  wow!!!  -   That came out so well...perfect colors, great ambience...good design.

I agree totally about the railing not being necessary...often less is more and I think the little paler house end (top right) with the reverse diagonal - gives the counterpoint that a tree would have done...

I really like the darkness and mysteriousness about the piece...

and you have done a beautiful job of putting it together...

just enough light in the windows...the yellow ones are the star...but the medium green is a very good supporting actor!

Everything about it is interesting...and I want to keep looking and checking....

great job with the values - and they are the key!!  the values and the diagonals are what make it...well done!!!! I'm sure you will be glowing tonight!!  Elizabeth

These comments made my day.
