A goal to shoot for. I love your Dear Jane and loved the trapunto in the chocolate triangles. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I am slowly working on the Farmer's Wife Quilt Sampler. I have learned I need to be a very accurate cutter and sewer. This will improve my skills for sure.

Mouse....these are small blocks...4 1/2" and lots were paper pieced and some only had small bits of applique. I tried to get mine all done on the Sunday when the week began, leaving the applique parts to do at night by hand in front of the tv, like I'm doing the AOTH blocks.

Absolutely beautiful! I'm so impressed with your work!

Oh, where to start? The color is amazing. The trapunto design is elegant. The pebbling probably took as long as making half the quilt. The combo of hand quilting and machine quilting is genius. And I adore your embroidered flower/label. I'm definitely stealing that idea. Please tell me you have that somewhere it can be admired every single day. And please tell me you've entered it in several shows!
Congratulations on an amazing job!
Adding on to ask you to enter it in the Road 2 California show. I want to see this in person!

Oh my, thank you for the compliments! I haven't entered it in any shows. I've never shown a quilt before and truthfully don't even know where to start looking for show applications!

Love, love, love your Dear Jane! The chocolate brown is gorgeous and the border is perfectly complements the quilt. Enter it into shows if you have a chance...it's so beautiful, I'm sure other quilters will also appreciate seeing it. :wink:
