Leanne's House Quilt Top Done
About six weeks ago I started working on this 8 y.o ufo. I had two blocks to embroider before I could put the quilt top together. Yesterday I finally got it done.
While my tastes have changed since starting this quilt, I can still say I enjoyed making it, and I love the different details over the quilt...the little stitcheries...
The needleturn appliques...
The blanket stitch appliques...
I now have until Friday to quilt it, bind it and add a label before I gift it on Saturday! Wish me luck. xo

Oh.....this is one awesome quilt
Well Done Cathy..I have the same hanging up on my sewing room wall...it took me 12months of stitching days to do the blocks...
I still love it.
Lucky someone getting it as a Gift...
cheers
Wow Cathy,
You did all these beautiful stitcheries- and are giving it away. Lucky someone is all I can say- they are very fortunate- You did a fabulous job.
Will you stitch in the ditch between the blocks?
Thanks for sharing your wonderful piece.
