A quilt in a week & a charity shop haul

[@katetreick]

That is amazing! I have only done hand sewing but just ordered my first sewing machine. I am really excited about using a combination of hand stitching and my new machine to expand what I can create. THe colors in this quilt are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your project and your life! 😊

Your happiness to quilt for the animal aid association is noticeable. What a joy of this work you have done and you transmit us on this video! Your quilts are superb. Thank you Jane and Michael and the puppies!

My sister is a prolific hobby quilter. Besides full sized bed quilts, she does lap covers for the wheelchair bound, and lots of throw-sized (60” X 45” ish) ones. Almost all are donated to those in need or two hospitals and nursing homes in her area. Her work, like yours, is beautiful! She still works full time too. I have tons of respect for the hardworking people, like yourself, who do this labour intensive work for the benefit of others.

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

I love your jumper, too. Striking!

Hi!!! Judy from Oklahoma, USA, here. First time watching your channel; I just happened upon it, and I am glad that I did. I love the way you sashed these blocks with the black print, and I will definitely be using this concept in the near future. I have a lot of the fabric that you used in this quilt; I got mine from Temu; the pinks and reds. This is a most beautiful, beautiful quilt. It is touching that you do so much for animals; a noble endeavor, indeed!!! I just started quilting about 3-4 years ago and I am totally and thoroughly addicted!!!! I have sewn all my life making most of my daughter's clothing when they were little. They are women with children of their own now. I do have a 7 yo granddaughter that I sew for. I am 69 and figured that I had better get busy quilting. I have always wanted to try; but did not due to apparel sewing and then work. Am retired now and sewing is my therapy and my sewing room/guest bedroom is my happy place!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your talent and time with us; so much appreciated!!! ❤

I have very much enjoyed tonight's video; thank you. I sat down to watch you while sewing the binding to the back of a quilt I am making for a charity fundraiser, so the topic was most apt. Some of the fabric in this quilt has been gifted, and some has come from charity shop hauls.

Beautiful quilt Jane, reminds me of stained glass! What a great charity shop haul, the UK charity shops aren't anywhere nearly as good for cotton sheets. I've been lucky to have been given a couple of cotton duvet sets to make lavender bags, and sewing pattern weights for raising money for Parkinsons charity. ❤🇬🇧

[@SharonMcGee-b2i]

Your quilts are ‘works of art’ which someone will fall in love with, spread over their bed. I bet it brings a smile to their face just looking at it, and knowing the money goes to the animal shelter. You are doing great things!❤

Jane your quilt is beautiful!

[@ksewald91]

My daughter is a very talented quilter with the special sewing machine that does the swirly final step. So much time choosing coordinating fabric and all the cutting and sewing together. Truly a labor of love. She is very particular about who gets them as so few appreciate the time and cost for quality material.

[@nancymcnamara2025]

Absolutely beautiful and for a great cause! Thanks for sharing...❤

[@deemason5297]

What a beautiful quilt Jane! Hope you raise lots of money for your animal charity.

[@virginiacollis4580]

Very nice quilt! Bless u for the work u do. Will watch yr next video. I too quilt but I am more of an improve type of quilter. I like the traditional ones but not as much. I draw some of mine but will use panels too. USA

[@preppernut]

I love your choices of colours and the backing is so nice, I'd be tempted to use that quilt upside down once in a while. Is there anything sadder than a quilter who can't quilt any more? Handsewing the binding was my favourite job, and I really liked the planning stage as well. But it took an average of fourteen tries to get the thread through the needle, so when my last quilt was done, I started giving my fabric away. I don't know why I am still hanging onto some very beautiful fabrics, but parting is so hard.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

So sorry to hear that.

[@lindajacquot5391]

That's one of my favorite quilts you have shared with us. It's colorful, creative, and goes to help an excellent cause. Well done, Jane! On another note, I was tempted to get a puppy yesterday, but now isn't the best time to do so. Instead, I will admire from afar - especially the lovely Dolly and Mary. Woofs to the girls! ❤🐾❤🐾

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Good luck for when it is the right time

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

You won’t regret your puppy (!) and you will know when it’s the right time. I’m of the age that I fear any pet I get now will outlive me - and the outcomes for animals in that situation is often pretty grim. So instead I get my “puppy fixes” by dog-sitting my daughter’s dogs on occasion, and when the hot summer weather reaches the point where they are at risk of heat stroke (we almost lost one of her little dogs that way a couple of years ago. It was horrendous.) My house has a/c but hers does not. I can’t think of a better way to share that particular blessing! So I’m a very part-time “pet owner,” so to speak. It’s all I can do.

[@JaneHolmes-g7r]

You inspired me a few weeks ago with one of your quilts to make one similar for a friends wedding present.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

That's great

Beautiful quilt! I've quilted off and on all my life. I could never afford a quilting machine ,but did "quilt as you go" and hand quilted with a round frame. I collected quilt patterns and then realized I would never live long enough to make them all! Hand quilting takes a long time.

Beautiful quilt! That’s a great pattern and your use of color adds so much to it! I’m a quilter and can’t rarely find cotton sheets in my area at thrift stores. But we have wide back fabric(108” wide) so I wait for sales. I’m currently working on Eye Spy quilts for some children in my life.
