I finally finished my embroidered quilt top. I've been working on this for at least four years. My Grandma Clara used to make these quilt tops using variegated thread. When she passed on she had made a quilt for each of her daughters-in-law and enough that all of the grand kids got one, except for me. I love how they look when they are done so I decided to make my own.
When I first considered it I thought of doing it in purple, but then I decided that blue would be better. Good thing I switched - Jerry's favorite color is blue and a purple quilt wouldn't look very good in our bedroom :o) The thread I used is pearl cotton 8 from DMC.
The first picture is of the three panels laid out; I still need to sew them together, pick a backing, sandwich it all, and quilt it. The middle panel also has the small border with butterflies at the bottom. However, I'm very happy that I have the embroidery done, so had to share with everyone! The second is a close up of the tulips in the middle panel.
that is amazing!
