I have a finish. I call this the heart attack quilt. When my hubby was planning to have knee replacement surgery, I prepped all the stitched panels and had the supplies ready to sit through his recovery with this quilt in mind. Day two in the orthopedic hospital, he had a heart attack, and, was sent to a different hospital for stents and a longer recovery. Everything was fine, but, I did a lot of stitching. And, I was grateful for the distraction.

Awesome close up pictures of your stitching. I can see that in person it must be really gorgeous. Even though the reason for all your stitching time was not good, it produced a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a gorgeous finish!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is very pretty! Your embroidery looks very nice. I've seen this quilt made before but the embroidery was done by machine. Hand embroidery has a softer, more appealing look to it. Today is a good day to snuggle under the new quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous, I love the sweet embroidered scenes, and the soft colors of the blocks. Working on this quilt was indeed a welcoming distraction.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your beautiful finish!
