Hi all!
Mary has
"joyfully" completed her JOY OF LIFE
quilt. Jan
Hutchison quilted it. Oh what a beauty!
You can see how
carefully Mary selects her colors & fabrics, skillfully building textures and
contrasts. The quilt has a very similar look and feel as the
pattern designer's original.
Kits are still
available.

To
see more detail on the machine quilting, which adds another level of
artistic interest, please visit Jan's
Blog.
Full of interesting
reports & observations, Mary's quilt is currently down the page a
bit.
Read further to see the
hilarious "retirement" of Jan as President of Wichita's
Prairie Quilt Guild, presentation of her quilt, and other fun!
