Yesterday my Jane Austen quilt in its beautiful presentation box came in the mail!
I was waiting for this to come out and then somehow it fell off my radar, and when I realized it was available it was pretty much sold out! But I found one in a little brick and mortar shop in Michigan. The lovely owner shipped it immediately, it came in like 2 days!

| The inside cover is lined with a print of Janes actual hand written letters! |
Here are the beautiful fabrics:
Here is some information about the original coverlet. It was hand pieced by Jane, her mother and her sister Cassandra. They used scraps sent to them by her brother who employed a seamstress to clothe his 11 children.
Apparently I plan to live forever! This is a shot of my 3 quilt kits, but I actually have a few more kits not even started. (not to mention those that are in progress!)

In other news, I started session 6 of CWLive class with Teresa Kogut. I have been painting with Teresa on Tuesday nights since the first of the year and I really love it!
Here is the first layers of a painting we are doing. The original has a witch on the right side, (but I don't really like witches so I took mine off and I'm just painting the pumpkin stack.)
