Dave-Jane Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I put aside a customers quilt to finally do a couple of Jane's wall hangings. Sometimes she complains that I keep trying to make money, well it's getting cold out and I thought the better, sometimes a happy wife means a happy life!! Or so I'm told.Only 44 of hers left to go-LOL She said I can stay in the heat for a while now! Oh boy no more snow quilting! I don't know how she puts up with me. She's a great piecer too , always a pleasure to quilt one of hers. I did some thread painting and outlining on the printed bird pattern, came out pretty good.

Neher-in-law5 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Nice work, to both you and Jane. It is great to have a masterpiece given for you to perform your masterpiece work on too. Now, go to the calendar where you write down your customer commitments and write Jane in at least once a week. We each need a rest one day a week and she and her work can be yours. Happy life to both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-Jane Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Thank You all!! The thread painting is on the birds and limbs and leaves, kinda hard to see on these pics. every pine needle, leaf, and fuzzy in the center is thread. Jane is smiling still!

The pattern from Birchwood Lane call "This & That" by Sherri K Falls I do love them - Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
