    Just amazing work my all, and once you know where you own piece is, its keeps "popping" at you. Well done Prudence for coming up with the idea and then putting it all together. Such a very Happy Piece of Art.

  5. It's marvellous and I admire your patience and skill in putting it together (and Stephen's in getting around it while you were putting it together!) Now, what are you going to do with it when it has done the rounds? :)

  6. hehe, Kathryn...not altogether sure at this stage, but have to admit that it is a little large for any of my walls!
    This week, though, it will be on show at the Craft & Quilt Fair in Melbourne.
