This is Eleanor's beautiful quilt.
I had one huge problem--
I could not see where and what I was quilting.
The thread blended so well that I was blinded.

Here is a first for me!
Closed the curtains, removed the machine light bulb
and put in a black light bulb.
FYI
I was born in the 60's and this felt bit illegal!
If I thought about it hard enough I smelled Patchouli
(which by the way I love and still to this day wear in the fall and winter). Some of you will know exactly
what I am talking about!!!

I was not a huge fan of the 30's fabrics till I quilted this quilt.
I have collected a nice stash since quilting this.
After all these year, who would have known we would be so closely stitched in friendship and quilting.
Thank You, Eleanor.
Till We Quilt Again,
I love the black light effect!!! It looks so cool! I agree about those vintage fabrics, Eleanor worked magic with them...I like them as well. Lovely work ladies.

Black lights really do help when your thread blends in so well! I have one for my machine...maybe I need to dig it out of whatever "safe place" I put it and try it out! Pretty quilt under that black light!
