I’ve just finished the French Fox blanket and its on its way to its new owner. The blanket was backed in a natural color organic flannel and I tied the front and back of the blanket together with DMC embroidery floss. My Bernina sewing machine has some really pretty embroidery stitches and I used one to sew around the edges of the blanket in a deep magenta cotton thread. I’ve included a little French lavender sachet that I made in the package, it’s smells just delightful and will be a nice surprise for the recipient!
Cheers!
Jayne
PS please excuse the kitty fur on the bottom of the pictured chair, I didn’t notice it when taking photos!

I love the colors you used on this quilt. It turned out very nice.
Good morning Lois, thank you!

Hi Izabel and thank you :)
So darn cute! I also love the sachet……imagine the wonderful fragrance after opening the box! By the way, I didn’t even notice the cat hair until you brought it up!
Hi Kathy and thank you :) I couldn’t believe the cat hair, lol!
I love these prints with old-fashioned images.
Jayne the ties are the perfect finishing touch. And so kind of you the make and include the lavender sachet, it’s little touches like that people truly remember you for. Enjoy your weekend.

Hi Kerri! Thank you so much, I am truly honored!!!! And completely flattered, it means so much to me and truly makes my day to be noticed :)
I just love the fabric you have used on your quilt, so am upset to think it is unobtainable now.
Your cat hair comment rang a bell with me, as I have two cats, and am quite often finding their hair gets in my photos.
Hi Ginny, I’ve had cats all my life and getting control of their fur is a constant battle! I think that’s why I love to vacuum ;)
Just lovely, as I knew it would be :) And I adore the lavender sachet So classy and thoughtful, Jayne. I hope your client will be pleased.
Warm greetings from DC,
Loi
Thank you Loi, I had a blast making it :)
Gorgeous and love the sachet! Thanks so very much for joining us on Craft Schooling Sunday! I’m dreaming of making quilts though am so busy that I need all the inspiration I can get to dive in!
I absolutely love this Jayne! Today everyone knows about quilting, however the art of comfort making has all but disappeared. Comforts were the staple in my grandmothers home where there was not enough time or room to do quilting. They ranged from the simplest of comforts, much like yours show here. to extra fancy comforts, with hens feet embroidery, (the actual patter was a crazy patch comfort) from decades of old Sunday dresses.
Your work is just beautiful Jayne!! As Always! Also love that you use a Bernina the BEST sewing machine out there!!!
Hi Mitchell! Bernina is the best, have had mine for over 20 years :) Okay, I have never heard of a comfort, how neat! I never know what to call those “blankets” I make, I’ve got to do some research. Hope you are having a sunny and wonderful weekend!
