I'm wondering if Tom Russel has seen your quilt with all the little embellishments? I think he will love it!

Janet, congratulations on your well-deserved prizes. These are beautiful quilts. I've seen some others of yours in magazines and over on the Janome list and you are an incredible artist. Woohoo! You must be smiling ear to ear now.

Janet, you said the letters are appliqued to the background, but I can't see that. It looks to me like they are embroidered.

However you did it, it's a stunning quilt!

For everyone else, if you will click twice on Janet's detail photo you can see some of her exquisite work!

Oh, you guys are making me blush! Thanks so much for you very nice comments! I still can't believe it!
Margo, they are both entered in MQS, as well as another quilt. The blocks on Red Letter Daze vary from about 4" to 12", and each one was appliqued to the background fabric. The whole quilt is 59x67. Here is a close up.

Janet, I know that the "redwork" is actually free-motion machine embroidery! Could you possibly post some close-up photos for those of us who would love to get a good view of some of that??? And your piecing!! How big are those blocks? And your applique on the muttons? Beautiful!!

Oh man...I need to see these gorgeous quilts!! Will they be at MQS???

Congrats, congrats!!! Even pictures can show why you won. The closeup on your redwork quilt makes me want to touch it.

I love the individual frames around your blocks! What fun to view! Love the redwork, the border detail...

VERY, VERY NICE!
