Pretty! My new kindle was waiting for me when I got home last night. I need to make her a coat, but the sewing machine and all my pretty fabric is at my Mom's, so she'll have to wait unitl next weekend.

Oh wow, beautiful, Betsy, and love the fabric! The quilt in the background reminded me of this absolutely stunning quilt you posted a picture of once, and that I keep thinking about regularly: one side was sunshine/day, and the other moonlit/night. I have completely fallen in love with that particular quilt of yours - it wouldn't be for sale by any chance and work for a queen of king size bed, would it ?? |

Awww, I'm sure Scout will be very happy in her new coat.
Is that Scout as in Tonto's horse or Scout as in Scout Finch?

Oh, so pretty! It looks just like the fall season! Great work!
(I'd love to see the quilt spoken of on this thread with the day on one side and night on the other. It sounds heavenly!)

That would be Miss Jean Louise "Scout" Finch.... . And yes, there's a certain irony to naming my Kindle after a character in a book not likely to be on Kindle for the foreseeable future, LOL! Thanks for the kind words about my sleeve! Betsy |

Betsy Oh my, it's simply stunning!!!!! I absolutely don't mean to highjack this thread, but if you were willing to sell, I would love to have it! I have honestly been thinking of it for a long long time (at least one or 2 years), and know that this one has ruined me for any other quilt, lol. |

That kindle sleeve is stunning, it looks a bit like leather.
That Day & Night quilt is amazing. I can see why it's "ruined" you for any other quilt, Neo.
We have so many talented people on Kindle boards!
I remember another beautiful quilt that used to be Betsy's avatar.
It was a relaxing image of a chair outside on a deck. I had looked at it for months before I realized it was a quilt!! I thought it was a photograph taken at Betsy's house, so gorgeous and realistic looking.

I believe that quilt was based on an actual photo, and it haunts me. It is the most stunning quilt I've ever seen. |
