Robin Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have always wanted to learn this...don't make me get another hobby, I would have to add on to my house! Seriously, I think that is going to be beautiful. What a precious gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsbishwit Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I love stained glass, your niece will be thrilled with your masterpiece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelette67 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Positively exquisite! My husband has always said he would like to learn stained glass...I think the comment was, "OK, when we retire this is a hobby we can do together." Hmmmm.....quilting comes first, don't know if I can fit in another hobby.

April W Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I use the glass shack as tension relief from the BAD quilts. We actually renovated an 8' X 12' storage building into this cute little space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I don't plan on getting re-married or married anytime soon, but if or should I do something like that can I be on your x"Wedding presents to finish" list. That is one of the prettiest stainglass pieces I've ever seen....very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Your dragon fly stained glass is beautiful. That pattern would also make a great "stained glass" quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April W Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Connie, It is actually a stained glass quilt pattern (reduced slightly in size). I asked if she wanted a quilt or glass dragonfly. Here's day seven... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
