Thanks for linking up with Throwback Thursday @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge!<br /><br />P.S. And kudos to you for whittling down that pile of magazines. Quite a feat!Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-52301223030523596162016-05-06T14:38:05.152-04:002016-05-06T14:38:05.152-04:00Janine!

I admire that you were able to work out the pattern for such complex quilts - and the hand quilting - oh my gosh, you do such gorgeous work. It is intricate and precise. You have such wonderful talent.

They are both beautiful with all your hand-quilting too. <br />I have also been sorting magazines lately, and have a hard time parting with QNM. They were always the best magazine and I still find them inspiring. So cool too, to be able to reference them to quilts of your past!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546043492549930952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-10013404749827016672016-05-05T17:53:48.279-04:002016-05-05T17:53:48.279-04:00Impressive figuring out skills - these are beautif...Impressive figuring out skills - these are beautiful pieces and I can tell they were made with love, which makes them even more special!

Your work is just so inspiring, and it is so wonderful that you are sharing these older quilts with the online community. The handquilting is ... intricate, beautiful, breathtaking. As for folding and scaling up, ha I've done that! As for copyright and original design, the DJ made a good point the other day about music, classical, in this case. The early work of a student of one of the masters, maybe Vivaldi or Scarlatti? sounds almost exactly like that composer. Point was, we imitate, change slightly, and that's how we learn and grow. I love that half circle border on the original of the one you did for your parents--so intriguing to have the centre one white. QNM has always IMHO, been the pinnacle of quiltmakers.Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-88174247954120792022016-05-05T13:46:52.707-04:002016-05-05T13:46:52.707-04:00Two beautiful quilts and I loved reading about how...Two beautiful quilts and I loved reading about how you designed them. xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228319710577550585.post-73416740216872626232016-05-05T10:09:03.854-04:002016-05-05T10:09:03.854-04:00WOW!
