JEN COMES FOR A VISIT!! UPDATES! :)

[@lindachadwick2911]

How can anyone not like this video? I just find the two of you so entertaining!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thank you so much:) You are very kind

[@lindagunter8339]

I so glad that Jen loved the design board.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Best. Idea.Ever!

[@SpliceGirlsProductions]

I would hope to be able to participate in a challenge like this with you as well as be interested in seeing all the results! You have made a mark in the landscape of the quilting world that is already part of history, Jean, and you continue to do so!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thank you! Just us roosters having fun in our hen house!! LOL!

[@kimbennett2369]

Hi Jean & Jen. I think both of the quilts are loverly. Your doing great Jen ! I love the backing fabric Jean. I just went wow ! When I saw it. I want some of that ! Varigated thread would look great to quilt it. The design boards are a big must !

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I do think I will be using a variegated thread...I think it would work the best! And yes, aren't the design boards the Bomb?!?! LOL! Thanks Kim:)

[@brigittetange9774]

Here in Belgium every challenge on a exposition of quilts go true the Quilter Gilde..... But If Jean puts her circle quilt in a show it deserves a price !

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks Brigitte!:) It will be for sale most probably! :)

[@merrilynblackmore6962]

So good to see you guys together again. 8 quilts, WOW!!! Ok I see a horse not a chicken. You are so crazy Jean!!! Hmm a challenge. Tell us more.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I know! Jen is on a ROLL!!! But I will STILL stick with my ROOSTER ~ my initial look see!! But I gave in and acknowledged it just Could, just Might look like a Horse head....................LOL! About this silly challenge....I will see. This is ALL Jen's idea....but I sort of like it...watch this space:)

[@Cordelia-again]

Both quilts are gorgeous! jean for your quilt I would bind it in either deep purple or midnight blue and then stitch in the ditch.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

THanks Cordelia! :) I have to really put on my thinking cap....

[@annieboulton5759]

Fabulous quilt Jen. You are artistic. I love your colours. Oh Jean, your quilt is amazing. The backing fabric is just beautiful. Thanks for the video girls. Great to see you together again lol xxx

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

[@KetogenicKim]

[@KetogenicKim]

Jen, your horse / rooster is beautiful!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Rooster. Its a rooster!! LOL! LOL! (Ok, I concede.....I do see a 'bit' of a horse'........!! LOL!!!

[@danettecollins7305]

Enjoyed the video very much. You guys are great! Love, love the quilts!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you for watching us Danette:)

[@karencarswell5724]

That is beautiful Jen. You have a God given talent. Please don't toss your scraps. Do what Jean does and sell them. I live in England and I would buy them and pay the shipping as well. It is always nice to have fabric from other places to build a wonderful collection of scraps. I don't throw anything away. Have you seen Danny Amazonas He has exhibited in all the quilt shows. He uses tiny pieces to amazing effect. I hope to make one like that one day. I love you and Jen together, you have a wonderful relationship.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Karen! I have enforced the 'Do Not Toss Scraps" rule in our sewing room now!! Jen 'gets' it too! :) Thanks for following us and I will look up that guy...some people are AMAZING!!! :) Jen and I are blessed to have each other!:)

[@faithjohnson]

Good Evening Jean and Jen. Lovely seeing you both. I love your quilt Jen, and it’s so beautiful. Jean all your quilts are beautiful as well. You two always having a lovely time. You both have a wonderful evening. Happy sewing and quilting.🧵😃

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

We do Faith, we do:) Thank you very much:)

[@lesleymcneely9997]

I love seeing Jen with you Jean. Great fun. Love Jens horse and love your new quilt, especially the backing. I think a stripy binding using lots of colours. ❤❤❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You know me and my stripes!! I was thinking that...might just to:)

[@lucy7b]

“ Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick “. You make me laugh. I say that all the time.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Some of these things I say!! :)

[@maryschutte8368]

Perhaps a narrow white "stopping" border with a dark (black or blue) binding for Jean's quilt?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I thought about that, but have decided to just quilt it and bind it....still undecided about the binding however............:)

[@patriciabennett7866]

Love your quilt Jen! Great job! For the binding Jean, I'd use a corally pink! And yes, yes, yes, a Jean Truelove Challenge! Please! Love you ladies!😊👍💗❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Patricia!:) And yes, a Challenge is coming:)

[@mariawells8026]

You ladies are such fun! Also, on the block board, Lori Holt has a video on making those too.

[@mlima19]

I'm so glad to see you're back!! I recently bought the same JUKI DX 2000 QVP Pro- and like JENN, I'm learning to use it and it makes me feel like I'm a fgood sewer. It is amazing!! I learned about the JUKI from you, Jean, when you bought yours and unwrapped it. Then soon after that my old embroidery machine backscreen light went out and I learned it could not be repaired! My husband actually went with me to the Quilt Expo in WISCONSIN and when I saw how the JUKI worked and all the feet that come with it, we were sold! Thanks so much for all the educating you do. Love your channel!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Maria! Yes, I was sooooo not well, so am learning to take things a bit easier ~ KZbin will have to wait sometimes! You will absolutely LOVE your Juki, I am sure!! Best Machine Ever:)

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

You two are great. Wonderful to watch, so funny. Love it😀

[@lindawalter2981]

The Jean true love challenge, woo hooooooo!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I have Given in. Bent. Succumbed. Surrendered. Yielded. Caved. Capitulated. Thrown in the Towel. I WILL do the challenge....sigh...............LOL! LOL!

[@dianne57m.shifthappens73]

Bind it in black, it goes with everything

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Hmmmmmm.....Maybe you're right?)

[@brendawallgren8354]

I frequently use different colors of thread on the top and bottom when I quilt, and as long as you have good tension in your machine, it is definitely workable. I do a test, like you suggested, with the exact fabrics and batting before I sit down to begin every time, and after a bobbin change. You just never know for sure until you test it out. I've already walked away from my machine for the day and then sat down again to find that my tension is goofy. Such a fun video! Both of your quilts are so beautiful! I see a horse! And Jean, you made a rooster that's a horse! I totally cracked up when you said that! Have a great weekend, ladies! Thank you for the giggles!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes, SO important to get the tension correct! I always do a test also...about my ROOSTER.....and YES!!! IT WAS A ROOSTER, that Jen successfully managed to make into a horse:) LOL! LOL! :)

[@busybeaver793]

Thank you ladies for putting a smile on my face! Jen I see a horse and the bead will put life into its eye! The circle quilt Jean would look nice bound with your backing fabric. Or something that is colourful. When Jen made the comment about the back of your quilt; Jean, I could not help but think that, you should quilt from the back not the front. An all over pattern would be nice even the stellar suggestion Jen made would be suitable.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Her poor dead rooster....I mean horse...it surely needed a bead to bring her back to life!:) LOL! I too thought about quilting the back....we shall see:)

[@melreally]

Love you girls!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Meli...we do have fun:)

[@debglastetter851]

Oh my gosh I just love you too. I am having a bad day and I still laugh and smile thank you for that. Jenn you quilt is beautiful. Jean I would stitch is the ditch with a variegated thread and use and a different variegated thread on the back. The binding I would use a dark blue or red. The quilt is gorgeous Jean.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

All excellent suggestions!! Who will win?!?!!? LOL! I have to do it quick...and will announce the winner!! LOL LOL LOL!!!!!! Thanks Deb:)

[@eleanorbrown1671]

As you say it’s amazing how different the block party blocks look, and both look great. I need to get moving a bit on these, I’ve just finished a project so I’m ready to go and catch up now. Keep up the great work Jean, love your videos.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

COme on girlfriend, get with the program!! LOL! LOL!

[@Clearymartin]

Great work, Jen! And looking forward to the chicken collage :) Bind that circle quilt with the galaxy fabric --- And sure - Jean / Jen challenge sounds fun!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

ROOSTER, Clearymartin....it's a ROOSTER!!!!!!!!! LOL! Yes, others have suggested the galaxy fabric.....hmmmmmmmmm....good idea! And yes, I WILL be doing the challenge....I have given in to peer pressure!! :)

[@Clearymartin]

@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory lol YES of course, ROOSTER - I can see that now :D Not a horse - not a chicken!! Good - love peer pressure!!!

[@valeriegailnoland7151]

come on, we can have the Jean Truelove challenge. We don't need no stinkin' guild!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

THAT'S RIGHT...."we don't need no stinkin' guild', do we?!?!!?" LOL! We ARE a guild in ourselves:) So I bow to pressure...a Truelove Challenge it will be:)

[@maegan1972]

I love you guys! I would bind the circle quilt in black and call the quilt "In the Beginning" to keep with the galaxy theme. 😁

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Love it!!! In the beginning......"Jean couldn't stop making these silly blocks and just kept on making them...into infinity and beyond'!! LOL!! LOL! Thanks Maegan!:)

[@gammaem627]

Love the idea! Suggestion: choose a fabric from a discount store like connecting threads, where it is affordable and they have classics and oddball styles alike in fabric!

[@reneelang5714]

Hello ladies, I vote for black binding to frame all of that beautiful color.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I will start auditioning colors....will let you know:)

[@pegpeg3939]

Yes..jean love challenge.. Lucky jen to have a friend like you jean to quilt with..

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

We are blessed to have each other, yes!:) ANd I WILL be doing the challenge:)

[@kayjones5890]

Hi Jean & Jen. Great to see you videoing together again. Since you purchased your Juki you have not looked back Jen! Beautiful quilts. I love the human quality which comes across from your quilting experiences. Jean..I think a planet inspired quilting would be fab, and possibly a collection of the darker colours for a binding? What an impact your colours make! The Jean Truelove challenge..bring it on!😊😬😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you Kay!! Oh yes, we certainly do bring the 'human', warts and all, into our little quilty world here! And into life in general!! LOL! Gotta have a laugh!! I WILL be doing the challenge after all! :)

[@anner8260]

Great idea .... 💕💕💕💕

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

[@rosettagadson1762]

Yes I would do the Jean Truelove challenge.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I have decided that I WILL do the challenge! Watch this space:)

[@elizabethh1815]

Jen, your horse quilt is stunning! Jean, I would choose a turquoise or dark blue for the binding on your circle quilt.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Isn't it just?!?! She made a stunning Rooster!! LOL! LOL! LOL! Thanks Elizabeth:)

[@lindaparsons3356]

Jen, I like your quilt blocks.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I love her fabrics too:)

[@eleanorbrown1671]

Yes Truelove challenge sounds great come on let’s do it.......

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

SUCH PEER PRESSURE!! But I WILL be doing it....watch this space:)

[@thetatteredrose1364]

Love the black on Jen’s quilt. It really makes it pop. The eye will finish it off beautifully. You two are such a bundle of fun. Your quilt Jean is gorgeous and huge. The broken circles look amazing and the colours are fun. I think black binding would look good. I am enjoying the block party and am happy to hear that we will be making forty-two blocks.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

THanks Drew! Her Rooster ~~~~~~~~~ I mean, Horse, was a bit dead....the tiny little beaded highlight has bought her back to Life:) So pleased you follow along with our crazy:)

[@tinageorge8759]

So wonderful to see you again Jen and I have to say that your Horse quilt is so pretty! I also made a design board and it’s been working out so great! 💚

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You mean Jen's ROOSTER quilt is so pretty, Tina!?!?!? LOL! Don't you just LOVE the design board! Why didn't we think of that earlier!:?!?!? LOL!

[@melaniewolfgang604]

Absolutely Beautiful!!!! Great job Jen!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

She did SUCH a good job;)

[@penniesandell6342]

Yay do the challenge. I will volunteer to import a fabric to the UK and resell to the UK participants on Etsy lr Facebook if needs be. Or you could check out a uk supplier to see if the fabric is available here. You two are hilarious. Love watching you xx

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Oh wow! Thank you Pennie! I will have to see about things...but I WILL do the Truelove Challenge:)

[@mgs783]

Bind it with black ,it’ll make it pop even more while framing and corralling all the shapes❣️👍 Oh your backing reminds me of the Aurora Borealis color waves!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I just LOVE my backing ~ like the quilt needed more color, right?!?!?! LOL!

[@mgs783]

Lol Jean...the thread color you choose could be different bobbin and top...ohhh how fantastic this quilt will look because whatever you decide it will be uniquely your artistic expression! Can’t wait to see the finished quilt, I hope you show it❣️👍

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Hmmmm....I'll have to figure that one out! But, yes, I will be doing the much voted for Truelove Challenge!!

And you Kim! Thanks :)

[@robinnickerson3319]

Another vote for a challenge! I'm not doing the Block Party 2019 because I did the one in 2018, and I couldn't get "revved up" for another sampler quilt ( I'm enjoying watching the videos! ) - but a quilt challenge sounds very enticing!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

People have voted! After the block party Jen and I will be doing SOME SORT of challenge:) THank you for watching:)

[@cillewagner7991]

Beautiful Jen. Black binding for the other.

I vote for black binding.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

You and SO many others.....we will see:)

[@Oceanskye11]

I can see a black or navy binding on your quilt. Some may think it’d be too dark & dramatic. But I think it would frame it nicely (because it is a piece of Art! ) & make all those colors really pop! 🙂❤️⭐️ 🌟 💫

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

THank you! Several have suggested that....I will see:)

[@GrandmaMouse1960]

[@nightfallstarbright8294]

I would love to do the Truelove Challenge...I'm building confidence thanks to your tutorials. I'm in the UK so hopefully the fabric you select would be available here - good idea Jen!! I am doing Block Party 2018 alongside Block Party 2019. I only found you in September last year and found the 2018 Block Party after taking part in 2019's x

You two are so funny together. I saw a horse right away but when Jean turned the quilt I can see where she saw a rooster. Last week I drove an hour away to see a Juki that Jen bought and the Pfaff Expression 720. Wish I could talk it over with you two! Keep sharing with us all you do!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

SO THANK YOU!!! THAT WAS A ROOSTER THAT I SAW!!!! LOL! At last, VALIDATION!!! LOL! I would get the Juki myself...just LOVE LOVE LOVE our Jukis!!! :)

Love the design board tip, I had to make one for me and my quilty friend immediately. I didn't have any foam board so I used 2 thick card envelopes (amazon ones) and covered those instead, they work perfectly Tx

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I used card stock for Jen's one also...2 of them like yours! Isn't it wonderful!?!?! Why didn't we think of that?!?!

Hi Jen and Jean! I've been to the Lancaster show twice and going again this year on the 28th! The cool thing about Lancaster is that the same weekend there is another quilt show called The Lancaster Quilt show. It's at the Double Tree Willow Valley. This is a great show and vendors. When you do get to go, make sure you plan them both. I would love to see a Trulove challenge. And Jen, right quilts!!????😳😳😳😳 wowza!!! My LQS had a sale and I got four Hoffman Dream Big Panels! 2019 is the year to learn FMQ for me!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Two quilt shows in One day!!! AArrgghhhh!! I might not have the energy for that! But nice to know! And yes, I WILL be doing the Truelove Challenge...I have given into peer pressure!!! LOL! I too have several Dream Big panels, have already made one....FMQ at its easiest to learn on:)

[@booomanchu]

@@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory my sister and I stayed overnight, bit when we go on the bus trip, it's two in one day. It's about 2.5 hour drive for me. Worth it.

Yes please to the Truelove challenge ..... does equilter ship to Australia 👌👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✂️✂️

Yes, equilter DOES ship internationally....there is much interest from people outside of this USA....hmmmmmm.....gotta think about it!:)

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

I've got to say and I said it on my other comments, you two are excellent together. So fnny It's lovely you have such a relax banter together. . You should do lots and lots of shows together. Because I'm new and I'm catching up on all your videos, did you ever do the challenge? If you didn't I think you should do it sounds a lot of fun. One again another great video. Thank you very much really appreciate it.😀

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

We DO have a laugh every time we are together:)

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

***no...we haven't done the 'challenge' yet!! Watch this space;)

[@margieterry5278]

You two are HILARIOUS!! As soon as Jen said "It's a Horse" the first thought that came to my mind was that episode of "My Favorite Martian" when Tim drew a picture of a horse and proudly says to Uncle Martin "Horsie" - could not stop laughing!! Just like I am now watching you two...…..I'm so amazed at how quickly Jen is sewing up her quilts and she's a beginner? I've been here in PA for six years and still consider myself a "Beginner" and it takes me at least a week to make a quilt top?! I have another question for you Jean? I was watching your "Machine Appliqued Circle KZbin" and was wondering about the quilt on your chair? Love it when you two get together!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Margie! We do have fun together, but yes, Jen has only been quilting for 13 months!!! Go figure! She is a natural!!! About the quilt....it is a funky applique from an old pattern. I used a fusible web, cut out the shapes and ironed them on and then tiny satin stitched around the shape. It was quite tedious but not hard at all!:)

[@margieterry5278]

When you say "old pattern" does that mean it's no longer available? Also, in your video you mentioned the "QuiltFest" in Lancaster - I had never heard about the show (I live in Lancaster but I've only been here in PA for six years and I've only known about the AQS show in March) so I looked it up and it's at a hotel I thought had been closed since I never saw any cars in the parking lot - I didn't know it was going through a renovation. Since you're not able to attend the AQS show in March you might want to consider the Quilt Odyssey Show in Hershey from July 25-28th - it's a really great show and last year Missouri Star Quilt Co. was there (I happened to find a great parking spot next to their van!).

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

The pattern for the 'hawaii applique' is in the Volume 4 of the Better Homes and Garden "Quilt Lovers Favorites' from American Patchwork & Quilting book. It may be out of print, but maybe a local library has it. I think about the AQS show ~ it IS the bigger of the two. Maybe we can TRY to get to it! :) But we will most surely get to the Quilt Odyssey in July!:)

[@margieterry5278]

Thank you Jean - I'll be on the lookout for the book...…...You and Jen are going to love the Hershey Show!!

[@graceconroy3705]

Very pretty Jen👍😁

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Isn't it?!?!?

[@tweetybird53046]

Jean I would use a variegated thread on your quilt. I was wondering when we would see Jen again she has been “Mia”. You did a great job teaching her she is amazing.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Good idea! Love my variegated thread!! Yes, Jen is so very busy....family, 3 kids, work, volunteer ministry work, home, and now Quilting!:) Thank you very much:) She is my Star Pupil!:)

[@cherylnewell9806]

You guys crack me up! I agree lighter thread on back ground. I made a mistake and went too dark. Big mistake. Love to see what you all do. Just went to Florida to see daughter and went to AQS quilt show. Missouri Star was there. Thought of you all and brought a smile on my face.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes, I found out the hard way also...sortof was a glaring mistake on a pretty multicolored/lighter quilt I had made... So pleased we bring a smile:)

[@mkeichline2089]

I’d be up for a Jean Truelove Challenge! It would be awesome!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

People have Voted! A challenge it will be:) Watch this Space:)

[@Pflexer]

Jen that's seriously beautiful! Love you ladies 💋❤️ You should have your challange for SURE! Also just an idea... What about a rooster with the feet tucked under?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Pam! I KNEW it was a funky rooster!! :)

[@jeanwogan]

Why not do large pebbles like Jen said it would look like planets on the back, amazing. Love it.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm still thinking about that....hmmmmmmm......I know it would look awesome on the back, but the front?!?!? I don't know. But thank you anyway so much for liking it:)

[@christinaf3503]

Jen Bravo on the quilting.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes Bravo:)

[@maryevans861]

I think dark green for the binding.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Another idea! Thank you!

[@jenniferc5185]

Not going to lie. At first glance I saw a rooster! Hahha. You guys are hilarious!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

YAY!!! YAY!!! Go TEAM ROOSTER!!! :) We gotta stick together, girlfriend!!! :)

[@stitchitch7010]

The mane is blowing as it gallops, NICE job Jen!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

It WAS super! She did an awesome job ---- after I got over my Rooster obsession LOL!

[@booomanchu]

Do the stitch where its a mildly curvy line, then a star, then the curvy line with a little loop, then a star. Etc. This would look cool on both sides!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Good suggestions!:)

[@gracerobinson1692]

Challenge!! Love the idea

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yup! Will be doing it:)

[@littleurbanhomestead818]

I think Jen was right a white binding would go great with your white satin stitch. I love the idea of the challenge but with living in the UK it might be difficult (or expensive) to get your fabric choices, so could we just do a similar looking fabric?

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

But the white might get a bit grubby?!?!? Maybe?!?!? I don't know. ALthough I DID think it would add a bit more ZING to the quilt....like this quilt NEEDS more ZING!!! LOL! I will be doing the challenge, and have to work out something for other who live outside of the USA

[@LollisQuiltingLife]

Beautiful job on the horse quilt! I also love the idea of the challenge!! Do it do it! I seen a version of that design board and they used a empty picture frame to hold it together and to pretty it up 😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

People have voted! A challenge it will be:) Good idea with the picture frame:)

[@LollisQuiltingLife]

Yay , looking forward to it!

[@simpsondonna]

Way to go Jen! I see a horse 😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I saw a rooster....wah wah....LOL! LOL!

[@cgmonooso]

I am up for any challenge Jean gives us.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Well then, hold onto your hats!:)

[@gaymcgee1398]

you two always make me laugh! This quilt is pretty.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

THanks Gay! We like to have fun!:)
