- Almosaquilter suggested Aurifil thread to help stay within a quarter inch
- Denise reminded me that thread position can help with thread troubles.

I have to say that Jaye’s quilt is amazing. I love the colors.
I just found your podcast and blog this week. Thank you for taking the time to share your sewing with everyone! Your quilts are inspirational, and I look forward to reading and listening to more!
Dear everyone,
Thank you for your kind comments on my quilt. The quilt is very small (22.25×14.25 inches), which made it a great portable project during the handwork stage. The handwork is all embroidery using Perl cotton. I quilted the living daylights out of the thing, which makes it very flat. The quilting took me, probably, 10 hours. Pamela Allen is an awesome teacher. If you ever have a chance to take one of her classes, jump at the chance. She knows how to teach and how to encourage students to do their best work. She isn’t mean, but doesn’t coddle either. I have taken 3 of her classes and would take another in a heartbeat. Thanks, Brye for featuring my quilt.
Brye, Frolic is GORGEOUS! You should be proud and you SHOULD crow about finishing the different stages. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Frolic turned out just adorable. Beautiful work!
Your Frolic is absolutely beautiful! It is a totally great winter time quilt. You did a wonderful job on all the applique work. Your sister-in-law will be so thrilled to have such a delightful, happy holiday time quilt.
Jaye’s art quilt is leaves me with such a happy-go-lucky feeling. If I were to look at something like that, I would never have grumbelly day even when co-workers don’t pull their fair workload.
That is a great looking quilt. Are you using casade yarn for the socks?
yes – it is Cascade yarn. That is pretty much all that my LYS carrys. That and Nuro (don’t think I spelled that right).
Frolic turned out great! Can’t wait to see it with borders.
Good job on Frolic!! You did an amazing job.
Love your art quilt Jaye. You’d win a blue ribbon at the fair!! And Brye, what can I say? Frolic is really a work of art also. Blue ribbon to you too.
Wow Bye! Frolic is beautiful! I have never tried applique as I am a new quilter, so more power to you!!!!
Thanks so much for your podcasts too!
Congratulations on finishing Frolic! It is adorable!!
Love Frolic! You did a super job. And love the ornament too. Thanks for your podcast. I can’t tell you how much it helps to listen on Mondays at work. Brightens the day! Keep it up.

Have you tried doing a snowball like sashing with a cornerstone — makes a star at each block
Sometimes it is fun to make your sashing from miniature blocks like 9 patches or flying geese
If you have not invested in quilt wizard by electric quilt .you are missing a lot of fun . It is the simple version of EQ and sells full price only 29.95 I have found it 50% off at Joanne’s Craft Warehouse ect . Easy enough my 12 year old niece can use it and it helps her math skills as well .
See if you can sample it somewhere You will love it
Your Frolic quilt came out beautiful! It was fun to see it get completed block by block & now to see the whole thing together. Be sure to post a pic again when the borders & quilting is done
Frolic turned out amazing! I love the bottom block, well worth all the effort!
