A Master At Work - Part II

More photos from PA.  What can I say...I take hundreds of photos and I've spared you over 200 of the other's I've taken.

Even thought I only had 24 hours with my dear friend Mary Jane...I was very grateful for those 24 hours.  It doesn't seem to matter much what we do....we just like causing trouble and being together.  Do you have friends like that? 

You may remember an earlier post, A Master At Work.  If you don't you can click on the link and review those pictures.  I swear Mary Jane is an Applique Master.  I got goose bumps when I saw this quilt finished.  Many of my PA friends have done a Baltimore Album over the last year....and they are just amazing stitchers.

 I took close up photos of many of the blocks...hopefully you can see the quilting and the applique...isn't this amazing?  The center is her own design...I can't even begin to imagine cutting and stitching that many leaves and berries and having them all look like they are where they belong.

Mary Jane designed the outside and the corners as well.

Of course it is hand quilted!!

Look how amazing her stitches are....I know she will cringe when she reads what I've written....but it is true...she is a Master in my mind so I'm sticking to my "Applique and Hand Quilting Master" title I've given her :)

This is Mary Jane....my dear friend...a woman I respect and truly admire....I'm fortunate to call her my friend. 

I numbered the blocks because I'm curious to know which one is your favorite and which block do you think is my favorite?  Go ahead....take a guess...leave a comment.....there just might be a little prize involved :)

Smiles,
