The birthday quilt I made for my oldest daughter came back from being quilted on Friday. Oh my gosh!!! I sent it to Gloria (our berries) to quilt. She did the most beautiful job!! I would totally recomend her to anyone who wants help turning a quilt into an heirloom..she just does fantastic work!!! As soon as I get the edges bound I will post a picture or two of it..Summer is just over the moon with it...more than thrilled. What a talent Gloria has!!!

Jenny,
Just looked on your blog and I LOVE the autumn quilt that was on your new frame - I love autumn colours. How is it going? Would love to see a photo when it is finished! The frame looks good too. Could you tell me where you got it - do they have a website? Is it working out well?
We are coming into summer here, so all my cold weather crafts are going away for a while, unless we have a few more cold spells!
Happy quilting, knitting, and anything else!

I got it on Ebay..and love it! I have been doing a little hand quilting each day and have been a little sick this week so not as quick as I would like. I am anxious to get it done!!
Almost done binding Summer's quilt..picture tomorrow for sure!

Can't wait to see the quilt. Gosh, I never thought of sending my quilts out for quilting. My finger gets quite a callous on it from pushing that needle through....berries, do you have a price list for that?

Aunt Jenny, I absolutely love your quilting frame. It looks so sturdy and pretty. The one I used to have was pretty rickety. :)

I would be happy to send you some informtion jpbluesky! Email me privately! This is what I do for a living. Quilt for others, piece for others, design quilts for others. I just love it! Can't wait for you all to see Summer's quilt. It's the quilt - not the quilting.

It is absolutely beautiful - has Summer seen it yet? You should take a photo of her expression when she sees it for the first time! I'm making a 1930s quilt for my daughter - very similar fabrics.
Gorgeous, gorgeous - thanks for showing us!
Best wishes,
Jayne

You two talented gals take a well deserved bow, Jenny and Berries! It is so dreamy and the quality is top notch. Summer will treasure this gift forever, certainly. Hat's off to you both! Nance

Wow! Thank you girls, but I really couldn't do it without Jenny and (Summer). Thank goodness I finally get to do something I truly love!

The pictures are really pretty the way the light hits it. If I knew how to operate my new digital camera, and get the pictures on a computer, I would post some things. But help is never around (only my sons could help), and I'm still learning the computer! :>)

So until then, thanks Jenny for the posting!
