I smile every time I think about the first quilt I hand quilted and gave to my Mom. It was a Grandmothers Flower Garden - hand piece and hand quilted. I quilted it with two strands of thread with knots on top - I was just learning and went with it.

I saw is close up for the first time over Thanksgiving and immediately took photos. It was such a treat looking at 50 year old stitches. I know you are enjoying looking back at the blocks of this beautiful quilt. The range in difficulty is interesting, It looks gorgeous geniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608100401444065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143452821962929299.post-50527771017004481052013-12-29T11:41:20.844-05:002013-12-29T11:41:20.844-05:00I love looking back at some of my earlier quilts t...I love looking back at some of my earlier quilts to see my workmanship at that time. It feels good to know how much I have grown as a quilter, but I also smile in fondness remembering my puppy-like excitement at learning at new skill :*) I treasure those early efforts every bit as much as my more polished efforts today.<br /><br />I have that cable diamond combo stencil but have not yet used itTeresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143452821962929299.post-22770638293536653362013-12-29T10:53:32.799-05:002013-12-29T10:53:32.799-05:00This is just lovely !!

I also believe quilters should work on what appeals to them no matter how difficult, often we find out we are more talented than we think. Your blue Dear Jane is wonderful!
