The binding and label have been attached to Red Radiance and she has been added to the Projects Finished list. Having a finish gives me such a sense of accomplishment!
The pattern for Red Radiance came from the December 2000 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. She was designed by Betty Alderman, Cindy Oates and Laurene Sinema.
I’ve also completed the rest of the triangles for the right side border for the Jane Stickle quilt. These 6 triangles all have applique of some sort, some more than others.
The border with the alternate white triangles.
What hand project am I going to work on now? I’m not going to start a new project. I have several small tops that need to be quilted and they will be going into the quilting frame but not this week-end. This week-end I’m enjoying time with our son from upper New York state and our grandson.
I’ve linked up to Kathy’s Slow Stitchin Sunday and Sew Many Ways.

Beautiful! I love that sense of accomplishment. It is amazing all you get done!
Congratulations on the finish. Usually am itching to start another one.
When Jane is completely pieced, then I will start a new project.
very pretty love the way you quilted it
Woohoo! You did it! Do a little something to celebrate another finished project!
It’s just exquisite…congratulations on the finish and enjoy your family : )
Red Radiance is gorgeous! Wonderful job. Have fun with the kiddos!
What a beautiful finish!
Congrats on the finish! Love your blue DJ.
Beautiful, Gretchen! Can’t wait to see it in person!
I’ve been wanting to do a redwork quilt, and I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE yours. I wonder if that pattern is still available?
I don’t know, if you contact the magazine if they still make it available or not. I’ve already passed the magazine along to someone else who wanted to make it.
Your “Red Radiance” is really pretty.
Red Radiance is magnificent! Wow.
Love your finish! Thanks for sharing.. your piecing and embroidery looks impeccable… as does your hand quilted finish.. now enjoy your Dear Jane becoming a flimsy soon! Kathi
Your red radiance is amazing. I’ve never seen that quilt before
I made this little quilt in the early 2000’s for a retirement gift for a fellow co worker. I can’t believe I didn’t get any pics of it, but it so lovely to see your version. I can appreciate all the work that went into this!
These two color quilts are wonderful! I have been thinking of a blue and white little quilt – feels so fresh and cool
Simply gorgeous, feels good to have one completed. I look forward to seeing your DJ. I like blue and white quilts. Thank you
Red Radiance is so amazing to look at. What a lot of work that one was. Congratulations on a beautiful finish!
Gretchen, Red Radiance is absolutely beautiful. The pattern is so classic and your workmanship is exquisite. Fantastic finish!
Hello, your Red Radiance is a wonderfull work. I love it!
Greetings, Marita
What a beautiful finish! Your Red Radiance is absolutely gorgeous and must have taken hours and hours to complete.
