Thanks for your latest efforts. I see now that I was misinterpreting the first photos you Thu, 07 Mar 2013 23:47:06 GMT coverletman http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NMAC_collectors/message/188 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NMAC_collectors/message/188 Judy, I have trouble photographing the whole coverlet in my living room.
