First introduced at Fall Quilt Market 2016
three of my female figures were translated from the original art into appliqué by good friend Ann Regal.
My request to Ann was that they be life size, suitable for studio pieces and oh, what fun!
•
There seamed to be such great interest in these show stopping characters that we saw no other choice but to persevere with this unique product.
&
An even greater pleasure to be able to offer the life size raw-edge appliqué patterns for the first time at the 2017 Spring Quilt Market right here in St Louis, our home town.
I believe, we are just getting started with these fun creative figures!
Take a look at what some of our design team created with the new patterns, some linen, our fabrics and some vintage items. Her corset still needs it’s buttons and bows.

Our Press On Handmaid (above) used our new fabric collection, Hatter’s Tea Party from Quilting Treasures.
The Seamstress (below) was made using linen and our She Sews Sea Shells fabrics with a vintage pair of gloves. It’s plain to see how different these girls can look by simply customizing the fabrics to the maker’s own specifications and taste. The possibilities and personalities are endless!

Machine Maid (below) was created using a variety of fabrics such as blue organza for her monocle, also She Who Sews, Draw Near and quilting B’s are among them.

I love these characters!!! When and where can I get these?
Hi Judy – These are available in the shops I mentioned in the Facebook post ( https://www.facebook.com/greatjoystudio/ ) and right here on this site’s Shop page. We are still tweaking the site however, it should work now.
Gorgeous! Will these be available as a large panel?
Hi Carol. These are available as a large scale applique pattern on our Shop page. Sorry not as a panel at this time.
My heart felt congratulations to Janet Frisch for her wonderful, beautifully inspiring fabrics. I am very late in discovering them so this question maybe out of date.
Where/how do you get the fabric for the monocles?
And when will you be releasing a new line of creative fabrics?
Hi Susan! Never too late, so they say. Glad that you found us. As you may see, my fabrics have been available for numerous years. Certain ones however, may be out of print although Riley Blake Designs are printing some of my classics! Some of the basics that can be used on the Machine Maid (monocles) pattern just delivered to quilt shops in a collection called Painters Palette. We will be kitting soon for this pattern using those fabrics.
Thank you.
Janet
