I plan on doing some custom quilting on my stonehenge fabric quilt but not sure exactly what yet. I'd love to see the one you're doing when it's finished. A friend is having heart surgery in a couple weeks so I'm working on making a cheery throw quilt for her. Once I get this finished I'll go back to the other one.

How long have you been doing customer quilts? I got my LA about a year ago and am mostly quilting for myself and family and friend gifts - have done a few for $.

That monkey quilt is adorable. You caught my attention when you mentioned using minkee (sp?) fabric on the back of a quilt. I have a top I would like to back with minkee, but was not sure how - or if I should - do it? Do you use the minkee as the backing and quilt through it? Or complete the quilt and somehow tack minkee on the back? Any advice? Thanks, Terry

At 3:46pm on April 3, 2011, Carol Vickers/OH said…: Thanks, Jan, for the nice comment on my scrappy quilt. I hope you've left a comment also on my post on the main page. Julie Herman who designed Raspberry Dessert is generously giving all the scrap squad members one of her new patterns to give away in conjunction with this, the Scrap Squad's second project. All comments by midnight tonight will be in the drawing for one of her patterns. Actually you can comment on each of the scrap squad's blogs (links also on the main page) to increase your chances!

At 8:00pm on September 25, 2010, Debbi Lamb/AZ said…: Thank you, Jan! The Quilt of Many Colors was a LOT of work - embroidery and applique. However, I think it was worth it. Thanks again for the compliment!

At 9:53am on July 8, 2010, Gaile Jenkins Northern BC said…: It is so beautiful, soft but interesting and not too busy, I would have liked to find the pattern. Maybe someday if I get time I might be able to take a close look and figure it out or come close. Thanks for sharing it with us.

At 9:03am on July 8, 2010, MARYAM/MO said…: Hi Jan! Thanks for the compliment on my blocks that I have done for te Carol Doak BOM. I am really liking this quilt so far. I had been really wanting to do a batiks quilt, so I jumped on that opportunity lol I love your bright quilts. Something like that is on my to-do list. I was thinking with a black background would really be awsome. I think I already have too much on my plate for this year though.

Right now I'm about to go bonkers with all the demands on my life. I would like to run away for about 3 months to de-stress. I thought retirement was going to slow me down but the truth is I am busier now then when I worked.

At 4:59pm on June 5, 2010, Linda Richards/N. Ontario said…: Happy, happy birthday. Hope you had a wonderful day.

At 9:04am on March 28, 2010, Trudy/WI said…: It is a nice book. And lucky are the recipients of the ones you made! I finally saw some of the materials you used at a quilt shop about 30 miles from here. Our local shop closed last fall and I haven't been able to get to any others since! Excited to work on some of the patterns in their book, they're so easy and cute. I've done the Yellow Brick Road one from her patterns about ten times!
