I think it is Cochliostema odoratissimum, false bromeliad. Here is a link that might be useful: Cochliostema odoratissimum, false bromeliad

I'd love one Urlee - Your abilities in graphics is way over my head ~ can you do the same cat for me? I like the script, just a little smaller (not the cat) and a little less scroolie. Wouldn't mind having your little dancing cat (adorable) too. Cat lover here as you've probably figured out by now (have 4 ~ all strays). Let me know - Also FYI look at my new topic "The dreaded Red X and the kitten" Marooma found exactly the one I was searching for - yea! I just want to know how to make it bigger. It's so darn cute.

I don't know what it means in quilting, but it's usually used to describe an image you use on line to represent yourself. Some forums allow you to connect an image file to your name so that everytime you post your image, or avatar, is there. In some of the interactive on line games or communities like Second Life, your avatar is animated and acts more like a real person... even if it's a fish or a dragon or an alien. But I've never heard of it associated with quilting. Anybody else??? Kate

OK, I'm having a little fun today. God Save the Queen! Saw this photo a couple of weeks ago and saved it for some reason because I do love the Queen. I'll use it until I find another, better one.
