I might have need of an oxygen tank! I love grand old cathedrals, one feels completely at peace sitting in them. Now if ever I should get to Paris I will certainly visit this cathedral AND Monet's Garden at Giverney. Now I am sure in this garden more than an oxygen would be needed to bring me back to life. =)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-42892991302839679482018-11-12T10:57:31.353+11:002018-11-12T10:57:31.353+11:00Have you ever heard of "Sainte Chapelle"...Have you ever heard of "Sainte Chapelle" in Paris? I thought I had gone arrived in heaven. Truly - it is a MUST because this small Church will make a "stained glass" fanatic out of everyone.I am sure you will find heaps of photos on the web. I have just been looking at my own photos and I feel completely at peace.

You understand.....you really, really do. :D I too thought all those impossible points would improve as I progressed, but alas no. It's just one of those patterns that have too many difficulties and inconsistencies for my liking. I did giggle when you mentioned the boy next door was more interesting than your cathedral window stitching lessons from your grandmother. You must post about the grand finish of your cathedral window when it is 'done and dusted'. I would love to see it. We could compare all those impossible points. Thank you for visiting, you have made me giggle!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-47140129092920917952017-07-24T22:38:56.665+10:002017-07-24T22:38:56.665+10:00I can relate to everything you said about the cath...I can relate to everything you said about the cathedral window quilt. When I started the quilt I thought how nice it would be to have a little stitching project that travels well. Something to work on when I was away from my sewing machine. I had seen a lot of cathedral quilts started but not finished. I always wondered why. Well, here I am 6 years later, still 3 more rows to sew on (it's only a full size quilt) and wondering if I'll ever get it finished. Many of the points looked bad but the longer I worked on it I thought I would improve. I did not. My grandmother tried teaching me how to make this quilt when I was 14 years old. The boy next door was more interesting. I should have paid attention to her. Your quilt is beautiful and loved how you photographed it. You have inspired me to pick mine up again.

I'll 'share' yours from afar!

I really don't understand why your dear husband didn't hitch up his big boy pants and climb the towers for you, it would have only taken him a "little while". But the photos are wonderful nonetheless. Simply gorgeous. I think you should ask again if you could take the window home - it would be just perfect amongst all your pretties. And that basket of dahlias, sublime. And I could hear the angels singing, floating on the wind all the way over here - and when I heard them it made me wonder just what it was you were up to. The bed topper is perfect in your flowery room, delightful. Happy week to you my dear - can't wait to see what next pretties you have to share with us.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5720710250003549011.post-31073952996294135612017-05-07T12:40:35.728+10:002017-05-07T12:40:35.728+10:00What a beautiful quilt!

I love the contrast in the photos between your lovely handiwork and the old architecture...what a great idea you had here!
