Nope, Sara, not famous as far as I know! As for stitching, I said on my PDA, I am not a very good quilter really. I don't get dozens of stitches to the inch, but I do try to get them even, and I think that matters more. This is the first quilt I have done with warm and natural (only ever had poly batting before) so I have found it nice and easy to use as its thinner.
