This was my show and tell at the Friday night retreat. A couple of the girls asked me to show my Road 66 quilt top. The pattern is from Di Ford's Primarily Quilts book. We have a lot of Di Ford fans in our group.
Orca Bay - Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt from 2011.
My Rotherfield Greys quilt another pattern from Primarily Quilts.
My Dear Jane. I have worked on this on and off for years (about 10 or 12), and it is now quilted and bound.
My crown is a little crooked, but that's me. It has become tradition that when you show your finished Dear Jane at the retreat, you wear the tiara while you are at the microphone.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
I hope you are finding some time to stitch today.
Your Dear Jane is beautiful and well deserving to get to wear the crown.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are all beauties! Thank you for the trunk show. I have been trying to find Di Ford's book. It appears to be out of print.
ReplyDeleteGosh your quilts are spectacularly done! And I really like your Dear Jane--what a trip that is in itself! I like that tan background and your color choices all go so well together--it is amazing..hoping you have a Happy Holiday and enjoyed wearing the Tiara- you deserved it! Hugs, Julierose
