This is a quilt from my neighbor, Millie.
She has been going through the large supply of sewing things she inherited
from her Mom after her death a few years ago and came across 12 large cross stitch squares.
She has added sashing and turned them into a quilt top.
A much better way to enjoy them than have them in a bin in the closet!
I loaded it up and then folded the batting and top up for the night
so I don't find any kitty 'nests', if I leave the layers down!
This was quite an undertaking by her Mom;
12 larger blocks each 16" square!
I've never quilted something like this so I will do a lot of thinking
and trial run designs before I actually start the stitching!
And here is the little watercolor ready to gift to my counselor.
She talks about having a proper view of the bridges
we each have to cross.
I think this will be a good way to say thank you
for her help crossing my bridges.
That watercolor will make a BEAUTIFUL and very thoughtful gift.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is the perfect gift for your counselor. I like the idea of learning how to cross the various bridges in our life.
ReplyDeleteYour painting is so nice - it is the perfect gift!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing gift!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd as for that quilt-wow! I've seen those in catalogs but never have seen one stitched. That is one incredible project.
What a sweet quilt it will be. I can't imagine all that stitching! I did cross-stitch, but only small samplers or designs!
ReplyDeleteI love when someone finishes a project for an angel. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is going to be an amazing quilt.... so much work gone into it, and such a nice memory... Looking forward to seeing how you quilt it! xx
