Here's the real snake.

Nice work Mrs. Monster !!! Is that a 1/2" continuious binding on the outside or pieced together. Is it hand tied with the batting on the back ???
I better not ask any more questions about quilts. People might get the wrong idea about me !!!:roflblack::roflblack: My WIFE does some quilting, but I have to say, nothing that detailed. Holy :cus: thats nice. How long did it take her Lamont ???

:2thumbs: Very nice! :clap: I wonder how that would do in a raffle at the BBQ? What are the dimensions on that? You remember last year you had that really big garden spider on the bushes? Now that would make an interesting quilt for a Spyderlover. Hmmm???



I think it's like 30" or so. Pretty sure she want's to keep it. The spider would be a killer quilt.

She made about $2K in prize money on the zebra quilt and later sold it for $3K. :doorag:

My wife came home with a flyer from the local quilt store. She wanted to buy a new sewing machine. The cost was almost 10K dollars. nojoke This machine she showed me was all computerized. It would sew photos and tons of other options. I said to her "Are you freakin nuts", you can get a preowned Spyder for that price. And have not heard another word about it. Thank God. :pray::pray:

So, next year, in answer to Lamonster's question, "why are you going...?' I already know the answer, So SWMBO can talk quilts w/ Mrs. L.

:agree: We just ran off 7 like the one in Lamont's picture along with two black snakes. And I hate snakes unless I'm making their skins into leather items.

:roflblack::roflblack:I'm so bad I don't even like snake skin stuff, and I couldn't run them off, I'd have to run away :gaah:
