For The Love of Hand Embroidery - December~

In this treasured quilt each block was embroidered,

then hand-stitched together.

I need to find some a little yellow to

repair some of the worn parts especially on the binding.

It is  backed with a thick, cozy flannel sheet 

which is doubled for warmth!

My Grandma Bea made one of me

and one for my sister.

It is very old and fragile, so I didn't force the iron--

but, through all of these years, her artwork still remains!

Only two more weeks before Jane's

Embroidery Ladies are finished showing 

their work.

Happy Stitching.....

How many of these quotes do you remember hearing..... 

For The Love of Hand Embroidery~

Jane came up with a fun idea this summer

and I asked if I could join the party.

I enjoy a good time, and think this will be one! 

Each Monday there will be someone sharing 

hand embroidery.

Today is Kris T 's turn.

Please hop over to her blog to take a look!

This is the bottom half of a vintage quilt I rescued from a under a pile at

an antique store.

Someone spent a lot of time lovingly working on the stitches..

quilting and embroidery.

I think the embroidered quotes were free-hand, 

but the entire piece is hand-worked.

My photographer just returned to school (sad face),

so when I saw how she caught both her and I in this sunny day picture

I kept us together.....
