Valentine for my wife

[heppnerguy]

I saw this project posted by the designer a little while back along with the pattern. So first of all I wish to thank Dave Monk for so generously sharing his pattern. I know my project does not stand up to the talents of Dave but I still want to post what I did so you all know I am not simply sitting in the sun and not at all in my shop.  My wife liked it so at least that more than made it worth while for me to make the effort to cut it

Dick, I bet she really did like it.  It is really colorful and it has a vintage look to it as well.  Reminds me of some of my dresses I wore as a little kid.... Really nice! 

[Dave Monk]

Looks great Dick. Thanks for sharing.  I like how you framed it. 

[Charlie E]

Very nice! I know she loved it. 

[wombatie]

Definitely a 60's/70's vibe.  Love it.  Well done Dick.

I never caught 'The Vintage Look', myself but you are the second one that said that to me.

Thanks for the supportive words

Wow thanks for the support from you, Dave. I personally want to thank you your generosity with your pattern. I really imagine you probably looked at it and thought to yourself, "He sure could have put a little more effort into it than this." I loved what you did but I am not you.

Thank you for that comment. I did not see the older look to it, I just admired Dave Monk's project and pattern and made an effort to make one for my wife for valentine's day. You are now the 3rd person who mentioned it be a 'throw back of time' type pattern.

I loved the pattern, but not real happy with my work on it.
