She is the Martha Stewart of the quilt world...everything is gorgeous. I lovingly call her work "side of barn" as a reference for size. Yes, girls, she hand appliques and hand quilts...occasionally machine quilting but rarely.gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02260743627800311448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1126527159429460842005-09-12T08:12:00.000-04:002005-09-12T08:12:00.000-04:00I love Velda's work (have seen several pieces in p...I love Velda's work (have seen several pieces in person) and there's no denying the impact of something that size. It calls you from across a room.<BR/><BR/>But I'm not inclined to work that big myself. Impressive, yes, but not as accessible as some smaller works and I'd be bored to tears with it way before it was finished if I worked on one thing for that long. Yay for her that she can do it!Deb Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322863748665701618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9567735.post-1126524003440910892005-09-12T07:20:00.000-04:002005-09-12T07:20:00.000-04:00I have seen Wings in person about 6 years ago.

Overwhelming and impacting.<BR/><BR/>I am more impressed by the tenacity of sticking with one project so long.
