Helen Hazon – Book #6
Persuasion
Inspiration – my almost lifelong love of Jane Austen’s novels.
This is Jane Austen’s final completed novel, published in 1817 after she had died.
In quilts 4-6 in my series I have adapted the first 3 design ideas, making slight changes in each new quilt. This is the second in the blue colour scheme so I have kept the diagonal theme but turned it in the opposite direction. As in the previous quilts in this series I have used hand embroidery, raw edge applique and machine stitching. The words are the names of the main characters and locations in the book.
All fabrics are cotton. Hand embroidery is in cotton and machine stitching is in rayon.

What can I say, your series has all fitted in together so well and the choice of fabrics, design and colour are so ‘Jane Austin’.Superb work, well done.

Bravo, I love everything about this quilt, the design, the simplicity and the fresh colour palette. Bravo
The latest work is a successful conclusion to the series. And as always, I really love the embroidery work.
Your embroidery is always so neat! The colors, design and fabric choice corresponds with the time when the story was written. Am I right? Lovely work!
You have created such a harmonious series and this one fits in so well. Great composition and choice of color, the fabrics feel so true to that period. Especially like the very neat hand stitching. Lovely!
Another beautiful and delicate design in your series that really evokes the style of the time in which the book was written. I like the blue fabric and the stitching as always is lovely. This is a great end to your series
With precise stitching and subtle colors, you’ve captured the true essence that represents Jane Austin’s books. Another lovely composition and cohesive addition to your series. Well done!
This is such a beautiful end to your wonderful Jane Austin series. As always I am in awe about your delicate stitching. Very well done.
As others have said, your color palette is beautiful. I must confess, I knew little about Jane Austen before your series and it has been fun learning about this author through your quilts.
Beautiful embroidery and choice of fabrics, giving a feel for that era. Bravo!
Jane Austen would be really happy for your series, well done!
