I love comparing them and seeing how they are so alike but different. Oh, yes, so many hours! I don’t think many people appreciate that if they don’t know the process. Those Paula Nadelstern fabrics are so silky, so I can imagine how that thread looks on them up close. The quilting texture shows beautifully. You keep coming up with cool backyard surprises.
