Hey, Rhonda

How about a picture tutorial of the lettering technique you were talking about on QA. The burnishing one, that is...

Great Work here, BTW. Wowser!

Congratulations. The quilt
is gorgeous. The poem on
the quilt was written by my daughter, Melissa Lewis on
first hearing Shamarr play.

I also quilt, and am
non-traditional in the sense
that all work is done by hand (much older tradition)
and rarely geometric
...I do street scenes of New Orleans.

I'm on
myspace...url/quiltingNOLA.

I'm well aware a photgraph
cannot begin to the convey
the art itself. I hope to see your quilt in person
some time. Is it on display anywhere?

Your designs are unique,
and I truly appreciate
your art.

Rhonda -

I wanted to thank you again for doing this...I know Shamarr appreciated it, as well. So, who ended up with it?

Hope you are well,

Susan
