:D
I just finished an Estate for a client who is a really fabulous quilter (and she teaches quilting as well) and she just brought me a hand-made purse with an applique of one of my felted bears on it! She had bought one of my felted creatures for her collector husband and somehow managed to applique a replica of it on the purse along with my bear trade name. I have received gifts before but this is just so special. I saw a pic of a quilt she made for her husband with bears on it and I'm still drooling.
Isn't it nice to be appreciated!
Hugs to all,
Marion

OK - here are the pics as promised and from now on I hereby contract to never talk about something without the required picture. If needbe I can draw up a legal contract signed by a lawyer - they'll sign anything put in front of them :)

and Dilu....as for getting into the spirit of things - I found that spirit many many years ago.

Marion check the size of your picture, yu may have to shrink it down, usually under 300 pixels works pretty well....I know that seems small but the picture will be big for us-

I don't know what photo program yu have but there should be a resizing function- usually under the image function.

Maybe this will help-

At least it can not hurt and we all want you to be able to go na na when we gasp and drool at your pics. :)

This is a pic of some of my felties. As you can see - the bear on the far right is the one she bought for her husband and used for the purse.
