Her minister is moving to a different church and the ladies (the very same women of the quilting bee group) wanted to make a quilt to say thank you for his time there. The 10 1/2" blocks could be decorated anyway you wanted -just had to leave 1/2" all around for seam allowance. We decided on this design; mixing machine embroidery with machine applique-do you get the hidden message? A snowflake is above the birds to represent the fact that Dad and Mom are snowbirds-most of the congregation is! ( You do know that northerners who winter down here in sunny Florida are known as snowbirds for their migratory ways!)We were pleased with our afternoon's work.
Oh, that's really pretty. And I love the snowflake.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! ...and how nice to have a good excuse to sew together!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I'm going to need written instructions exactly how to make that block.
