Many, many thanks for the very nice compliments. This is a special quilt to me since my mom and I did it together and that it is completely hand stitched. She will be 84 this week and I know our days of doing projects together are numbered, but she totally amazes me at the quantity and quality of quilts and needlework she is capable of doing. I have many beautiful quilts and pieces of needlework she has done for me over the years. I only hope I can do half of what she does at her age. She runs circles around me any day of the week.

Rework is a current passion of mine and your American Jane quilt is a treasure! What beautiful work!
(Putting flannel behind your embroidered squares is a must--my first one I didn't put anything behind the squares and even with careful cutting of all the square ends they do show :shock: ---I learned my lesson!)
