Here's the final Nest quilt. I added some beaded accents, and tabs to hang it from a cool branch. Many people admired it, and it's my current favorite--although, usually it's my latest quilt that is my favorite, so that's not surprising.
The show opening went well, a few people are interested in making purchases, though the details have not been worked out yet.
Although it would be lovely to charge $500 per quilt, an Snorri suggested in his comment, I'm thinking that's a little steep at this point in my career, so I think a range of $150-$300, based on size and complexity is what I'll go for.
Tonight Celeste is staying over, because of the crazy bridge situation, and our friend Laura stopped by with her guitar for an old-fashioned impromptu seminary sing-along!
After several folk songs--Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, Mindy Smith--and some Gospel, we ended with a rousing improv, "Seminary Blues." When it finally ended (after several verses), a rousing cheer went up from all around the building, since our windows into the courtyard were wide open!
Needless to say, we laughed so hard Gayle almost had an accident.
Wish I had a tape! (Or a CD I guess.)

the nest quilt piece is my favorite (aside from the one you made for us). gor*geous*
seminary blues! yes, as i was experiencing it, i thought, i should record this with my video feature on my camera. (i didn't, maybe next time)
thanks for letting me stay. traffic on the bay bridge this morning (according to NPR) was 19!miles!per!hour! at the time i usually drive over it and though i won't tell you how fast i drive it, i will tell you that between 6:30 and 6:45 you can drive it at the speed limit - 50 mph.

Your nest quilt looks spectacular. Combining lots of your talents. Does that mean that if I ever received my Christmas present it would be worth $150.00?

oh, Annalee, at least $150! It's still in-progress, waiting for the perfect thing to make it really special. It's hanging on my bookshelf right now! patience is a virtue :)
