April 30, 2015: Sallie Gardner at a Gallop quilt

[glatt]

That's a cool story. I was thinking as I was reading this that the story was going to lead to the quilt being made before the film was, and how would they have been able to do that back then? Space aliens? But of course, it's a modern quilt. Then as I looked at the quilt, I had to marvel at it. I can do some very basic sewing, like putting a patch on a uniform, and I hemmed some pants (rather poorly I might add.) Sewing those horses to the background and getting the outlines of them to be so perfect, especially the intricate details of the legs and mane, etc. is simply outstanding. You would notice the flaws so quickly if there were any, but there are not.
