You always find just the right fabric for these journal quilts, and I like the way you've changed the wording :). It says in a ":just right" way the thought behind the quilt. ssAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-61596529615216814632011-08-06T17:17:37.470-07:002011-08-06T17:17:37.470-07:00I changed to "mainly" from "mostly&...I changed to "mainly" from "mostly" but neither works.

Wel...I agree with Alice...no pumping up necessary. Well done, simple & to the point. I think we need ( or at least I need ) to periodically reminder ourselves that more is not always better! I think of the simplicity of the Amish quilts, which mesmerize me. I'm also very honored to be "part" of this quilt!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154076191981373564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-68608034594354021912011-08-06T15:47:27.529-07:002011-08-06T15:47:27.529-07:00The photo and corner pieces are from a French them...The photo and corner pieces are from a French themed fabric I picked up at The City Quilter.Linda Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622069411237073813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-39464329891933757562011-08-06T15:37:20.295-07:002011-08-06T15:37:20.295-07:00I don't think it needs any pumping up, really!...I don't think it needs any pumping up, really! I like the graphic nature of it, and the colors seem to work so well with that look. Love the picture, the quotation. AND...my gosh.....the free motion stitching of names! I have practiced my own name but it doesn't look nearly as good as your stitching does! Where did you get the photo?Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.com
