You may well be right about the penmanship the stitchers may have had. Scholars differ on this question--who did the writing? I'm so glad you appreciated my photographs. Just hope I don't get into trouble for showing pictures I shouldn't have taken.

Thank you for your photos in which we can see the quilting and other details! The professional photographer did a great job of ironing out the bumps and smoothing out the colours to hide the quilting and fabric patterns. I think I would like him t...

I have several books by Elly Sienkiewiez too, and have drooled over them often, though never used any of the patterns. I do have a couple of blocks of intricate applque which I started but will use somewhere other than a quilt because I started on...

JoWynn, thanks for showing those beautiful Baltimore Album quilts on your blog; your wrote a very good description and history of the quilts. My reply was awfully long, hope the readers were not bored, but I also hope we will get a quilter interested in the Balt. Album style.
Your stitchery is lovely; I particularly like the tree sparrow-such detail in the way our portrayed the little bird.

Hi JoWynn, Thank you so much for the advice about the sucess you have had using the Bubble Jet for image transfer. There seems to be mixed success rates in using the fabric softner method but the Bubble Jet appears to be a sure fire method if the directions are followed. Is the Blending Photos With Fabric a book? I am not familiar with it, who is it by?
I saw the photos you put up of your Creative Space! What a wonderful room you have prepared for yourself and your muse, quite the artistic haven. I just love it...
Your needlework is lovely and I can see the need of the magnifying glasses, my eyesight is regressing daily, ha ha!
Thanks again, J
PS The honor of your friendship would be much appreciated

All the Best,
