[@GrandmaMouse1960]

Jen, that quilt is spectacular!!!!!!!! What an inspiration for all the beginner quilters.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! Jen IS an inspiration! An excellent pupil! :)

[@CherylWissel]

Jen’s quilt is just beautiful!!!! Well done!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

It is glorious ~ I'm so proud of her!

[@CherylWissel]

Jean Truelove I love your videos. You are so genuine and I love your tutorials. I didn’t do your block party, but I hope to be a part of whatever you cook up next!!!💕

[@daylily1]

Great quilts, ladies! Loved these tutorials. I was delayed on my blocks but getting back on track. Big thank you to both of you for sharing your journey, the laughs and friendship. ❤️

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Your blocks are beautiful~! Finish them up when you are ready! :) This has been fun, doing it together! :)

[@miamisweets]

Love the video series with you and Jen :)! So much fun! I hope you're feeling better Jean.

[@gen2917]

Learning by doing -super and with Jean on your side perfekt.hello from Germany

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Maria! We helped each other and had fun along the way! :)

[@maryschutte8368]

Many kudos to each of you! Jen, your quilt is amazing and Jean, you're a gracious and gifted teacher! Thank you to both of you for this entire series.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! We had such a fun time making these!

[@busybeaver793]

Ladies your quilts are beautiful! Congratulations. Jen give yourself a pat on the back. You did an exceptional job for a first quilt. Also, I am absolutely in love with your bee fabric. Take care ladies and I look forward to seeing you both in your next video.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Jen's 'bee' fabric! It is lush and beautiful! :) We have to come up with something for you guys! :)

[@willowhilldesigns7]

Your quilt is beautiful Jen!! You did a wonderful job! I love the bee fabric; it really makes the quilt special! I’ve been quilting for many years and feel it’s worthwhile to buy the best fabric you can. It will hold up beautifully in the long run; and after all the work that goes into a quilt, it just makes sense to use good material. Can’t wait to see your next one! Great job teaching Jean! I love your quilt too!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! For her first quilt - even before knowing she might not LIKE quilting, I advised to get a less expensive fabric, so as not to waste any money....Jen has found out for herself that fabulous fabric quality, although a bit pricey, is well worth it! :)

[@willowhilldesigns7]

I think we all do Jean ;-) It took me a while, but I learned the hard way after some “cheap” fabrics deteriorated in my early quilts.

[@faithjohnson]

Hello Jean and Jen. What a wonderful time you both have had. I ‘m enjoying myself also, but not finished yet lol. I’m happy for myself because it’s my second quilt I made. Thanks Jean and Jen so much for doing this quilt a long. Your quilts are beautiful. Have a wonderful evening you two lol.😃

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You will finish in your time! Enjoy the process, like we have! Thanks for your kind words!

[@Kim.Artman]

Those quilts are beautiful ! Jen I'm so impressed. I started quiltiing about a year ago and have a long way to go before i can accomplish something like that

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Jen is unreal, isn't she?!!? So very accomplished and clever ~ I'm so proud of her~ :)

[@phyllisbrandon6636]

Hi there! I just watched this and I love the quilts. Jen's is absolutely gorgeous and I love the little fussy cut bees. I don't use much blue but love how she put all the colors together. Wow - no wonder you are both so proud. What a fun project to do together.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I will tell Jen! Yes, we were both so proud of our accomplishments, and that of others' who shared theirs with us! It was a fun project and week by week honed all of our quilting skills! Thank you so much!

[@bootsakikn]

Such a great job ladies!! They are beautiful 😍 I love watching your videos Jean. And I admire your wonderful friendship!! I love the way you teach, talk and show us that it can all be done with our own two hands. It makes my heart smile watching and inspiring me in the process ☺️

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

We are blessed beyond! We have each other, and now we have our quilts! :) Thank you!

[@margaret-mary499]

Wow both of your quilt are so cute hanging up together. Jen did a great job love her colors. Man the journey is over but it was a blast for sure. Thank you both so much your both so much fun to watch🌷

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

They both look so happy together! All that time they spent together! LOL! We did have a laugh! Thanks for following along! :)

[@PatsyB]

Beautiful quilts Jen and Jean. If you ever have a block party again I am sure going to try it. I enjoy your videos.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I might just do that! Thanks so much for watching!

[@jedlinnen6528]

Room looks lovely, Jean. Those oil paintings very nice and I like the plates as well.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Jed! More is never enough! :)

[@jedlinnen6528]

Doing your patchwork is a really good way of taking your mind of it and then one day you will realise that you are home from home, Jean

[@denisemcintosh7568]

Amazing!!!!! Beautiful quilts!!! Jean your such a wonderful teacher. Your real and show us what's true about the quilting process. Your passing your knowledge on to all of us!!!! Thank you so much!!! Its much much appreciated.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

[@brendawallgren8354]

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Brenda! We had such a wonderful time on this journey! My clever Jen! :)

[@nitahooper6137]

Great job Jen you did great.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

She did, didn't she!?!

[@loraparker6790]

I actually love the Waverly line of fabrics from WM. I buy solids by the bolt and have found them, should I dare say very similar to Kona. Beautiful job to both of you and allow them to be loved and used and spilled upon! That is what makes the memories. Hugs and love and I enjoy you both so very much!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

So do I!!! Get just SLIGHTLY annoyed when folks bash WM so much....grrrrrrrrr. And yes, afford what you WANT to and CAN!! The 'sacredness' of a quilt goes quickly when you see how much it is loved, appreciated and adored! And that is what Counts! :) Not thread count! LOL! Thanks so much for watching us! :)

[@rosettagadson1762]

Great Job Jen. You did do a great job and I love your choices of fabric Now you are a QUILTER!!!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Jen has done marvelously! A real quilter, I agree! :)

[@Angie-cm4si]

Jean this was a lovely quilting journey with you both and I am glad I took part by making the quilt..the average cost of 10 quilting classes is £200 in the U.K. so I was so happy to find your channel your a gem Jean big hug xxxxx💖

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Oh wow! Seriously?!?!?! Man, I'll be sending you a bill! LOL! LOL!! LOL! So pleased to be able to give of my time to folks who appreciate it...such as yourself! It was fun! :)

[@lucyjane103]

Jean and Jen , i enjoyed the Journey of watching you to make these quotes they turned out fabulous I just didn't have a chance to join you thank you for showing these quotes and doing these blocks and it tells me that anything is possible as long as I have my ripper in hand

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

LOL! Try not to rip TOO much!! :) LOL! This was fun and we really had a laugh along the way!

[@jedlinnen6528]

They say it takes two years to get used to new surroundings and in my experience, Jean, that is the case. You are amazing.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yea, I think you may be correct Jed! I'm really trying....our house is beautiful...but I'm still not fully settled

[@siglindeweber85]

Thank you for showing your block party, your quilts both are great and beautyful! ...and you both are beautyful too!! 😸👍 🙌

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw, what a sweet thing to say! I must tell Jen! We have a real Fan!! :) Many of them...we are humbled and honored! Thank you!

Thank you Amanda! :)

[@amandapanda2284]

BTW Jean I am also very pleased with my scrap box. I am working on what might be the worlds scrappiest log cabin quilt! Lol

[@tracyruth4247]

Beautiful quilts ladies! I did watch the videos but did not partake as I have yet to find fabrics I want to use...I think choosing fabrics is just as hard as choosing patterns😯😧😖 But I have this on the top of my top-do list as I continue to search for fabrics😍 Looking forward to the next project!!❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

We've got to think up a 'next project'!! Hope your hubby is recovering Tracy! Look after yourself! Thanks for following along! :)

[@wordwalkermomma4]

As excited as I am about learning what you will do next,... I have to go back and catch up to this whole block party! We are still stranded in the middle of a move. I need a sewing room! Waaah! 😂 I've almost completed two tops in the interim, but to endeavor to do this fabulous quilt, I will need more space than a dresser top and tv tray! 😉 (Also, I want my own machine from out of storage!)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You NEED a sewing room! Oh dear! I feel for you! But when you get settled, it'll all be good. !!

[@teresamcbrayer2549]

I Love your Churn dash block Jen.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Another favorite!

[@lizryan9000]

I believe the bee fabric is from Art Gallery Fabrics or Studios. Gorgeous, Jen.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes, Art Gallery Fabrics designed by Bonnie Christine from her Sweet as Honey Collection! :)

[@jedlinnen6528]

congratulations to both of you

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you!

[@4GiveN4get]

Well done, Ladies!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! It was such a pleasure to embark on this little adventure with my Jen! :)

[@teresamcbrayer2549]

Ladies, your quilts are beautiful

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Teresa!

[@nonniepalmer8676]

LOVE sampler quilts great way to learn how to make quilts .... learn all kinds of techniques to learn in the future.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I've never really ever made one! This was a first for the two of us! :)

[@jedlinnen6528]

Checking back into your old front room, Jean x

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw....this touched me Jed! I DO miss my old house...this one is just beautiful, but yet to be ''home'. Naturally, we lived in our other for almost 3 decades....hundreds of parties, meals, get togethers, family, births (well not 100's of births!!LOL), but you get it!! Thanks again!

[@MiMundoEnTelas]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you!

[@christinerazo8504]

Just wanted to know how many hours you worked in a day thank you love love your quilts so beautiful

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! I am in my sewing room perhaps 4 -5 hours a day. Not on Saturdays or Sundays however, we have our ministry work and our congregation meetings then.

[@joycegallo2942]

Jen and Jean they are beautiful! Just started putting mine together to quilt and bind. Any one local to Philadelphia /Hersey going to the Hersey Quilt Odyssey?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Hi Joyce! I'm so bummed...we have long standing plans so can't make it ~ but will be going in September to the one in Oaks, PA! Thank you so much! Did you enjoy this block party!?!?

[@joycegallo2942]

Jean Truelove yes I did very much can wait for another!

[@juliewerner9592]

Just love you girls, your enthusiasm and warmth are catching and I love your quilts 💖💖. I am nearly game enough to have a go too, even though I am justascrappyquilter (on instagram) xxxxx and can’t cut straight to save myself hahaha ✂️✂️✂️ Looking forward to your next adventure . Xox Julie from Australia 😀

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks Julie! This was a fun and satisfying project!

[@mrsortegaczacy5606]

Wonderful work!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you!

[@reginacline897]

I will get mine done next month.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Slow and steady wins the race! :)

[@wordwalkermomma4]

So, maybe I did something right... I've been trying to build my skills over several years, and just now worked up nerve to ask my mother (79) for her grandmothers' and mother's handkerchiefs, to make a quilt for her to enjoy. Any tips? I thought I should use some stabilizer. Yay or nay?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I use a lightweight fusible interfacing to stabilize the hankies and then stitch them onto the block

[@wordwalkermomma4]

Jean Truelove Thank you. Also, I intend to stitch down some crocheted doilies. Thank you for your inspirations! You are a dear!

[@keepthefaith1912]

Very nice.....nice.... **I'm starting in September..and following along on video...hey...you should down load all the blocks instructions and sell on DVD!!!

[@jedlinnen6528]

I kept same optician back in the city but now I realise I no longer need to do that. A big change like this was never going to be easy, Jean.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Funny you say that...we only moved 10 minutes away, but we've kept the same pharmacy (about 20 minutes away) and it's a bit of a pain now!! So I think we'll see about one closer!! Maxwell needs his medication and it's annoying to have to drive when we have pharmacies right down the road! :)

[@teresamcbrayer2549]

Lol. Im with you Jean I use several color catchers

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

"If one is good, six must be better" LOL!! The things I come out with!

[@jedlinnen6528]

If I can get used to the suburbs and after nearly two years I am you will get used to it. You donnot have to try, Jean. The place will grow on you to become home. No need to force it, Jean

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks for that Jed. It's just happened so very quickly ~ which in itself was a good thing, and I know the 'settling' down will come ~ t i m e.....:)

[@melreally]

Oh my gosh...my mom says that all the time..if one is good six is better ❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Old Mom's Sayings :)

[@melreally]

@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory hmmmm I think its more of the "controlled hoarder"😁....which I happily inherited!

[@deeriegle6940]

What an eye for color Jen has. I

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I know, right?!?! Wonderful job!

[@lizryan6289]

I was wondering, Jean, if you ever do quilt as you go?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

No I don't....for the most part. Only on small placemats and table runners, did I do it just a couple of times. I find it easier on a much smaller project but not for an entire quilt.

[@amalalsultan458]

Sorry, I meant Jean☺️

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

That's alright...I answer to anything! :)

[@momgrandma5496]

Kudos to the teacher and the student! To Jen, ‘You always remember your first’. 😉 Is that Maxwell in your curio cabinet? 😃

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Jen will ALWAYS remember this 'first love'!! :) LOL! That is our son, Dominic, whose head is peeking out of our cabinet...LOL!

[@cgmonooso]

Beautiful Jen! Great job. I finished mine today. I sent you an email Jean.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Got it! Thank you! :)

[@amiinsc7775]

Jean, why don't you give your quilt to Jen as a "graduation" present?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I love Jen SO much....but not THAT much~~! LOL!! LOL!!

[@askedgeorgia17]

Don’t sell! Must be handed down thru familiy and Not used in dog beds! And Never, Never, Never use them as furniture covers when Moving!!! 🥰

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I totally agree!

[@ruthanngreenway4243]

Awesome job, ladies!!!!
