Blossoms for Spring!




I'm heading off to work here in a few minutes, but I wanted to show you something pretty I've been quilting on! These are Elizabeth's embroidery blocks..I set them together at retreat, and today I finished the quilting. It feels so much like spring! I quilted with the windows open and a gentle breeze wafting in...I could hear the neighbors revving up their lawn mower for the first time this season...

For you in the frozen north...never fear...spring is coming!

  2. What a soft, pretty girly-girl quilt. And the swirls that you quilted on it makes me thinks of the warm spring breezes. Was that your intent?

  11. I just love the quilt. Did you digitize your own designs, are they available for purchase, or is there a source for the designs that you used? Combining quilting and machine embroidery in quilts is a favorite design format for me.
