Janet Sansom

One of our favorite embroidery/quilt designers has a stunning quilt in a recent issue of "MACHINE EMBROIDERY" magazine. This one is Parterre Garden and currently the designs are 25% off here.
The complete quilt instructions begin on pg 56. It lists the finished size at 82" sq but I'm considering a wallhanging version, ending after the smaller blocks on point for the final border.
She is the designer of Queen Anne's Diamonds which we did nearly 4 years ago. Her designs stitch out so wonderfully they are fun to watch ast they stitch and bring your thread to life.  Have to start focusing on fabrics for this one. I really do like the full sized quilt though with those large embroidery squares. Will be fun to stitch this one out, although the first part of fabric selection has to be completed first! Oh dear!

I love her designs! Yep, had to get 'em. Now to think up a good project for them. Maybe something modern! Thanks Becky
