How on earth did they get that much detail on something so small? They are awesome.

Could it be Sally Collins? She has written several books, one of which is nothing but miniatures. Her website is here:

Check out her gallery!

There's also some pictures of her quilts on this blog. You get a great sense of perspective here!

I'm going to have to ask a real stupid question.

how do they sew the seams?

paper piecing. I have a few blocks that are that small as well. They are really fun to do, and bring on loads of compliments!

Lord have mercy! Paper on top of tiny pieces and tiny stitches?. Not this gal!

Can you imagine HQ these? I sew little pieces, but just can't HQ them. Beautiful, simply beautiful.
Peckish, I too thought of Sally Collins. Thanks for the links.

Yes! That is her name! Thanks, Peggi. Another reason to love this place. I am going to check out her site right now. I'm back.

#5 down and #11 down on the quiltharvest site were the ones I posted. So incredible.
