I decided to enter The Bloggers Quilt Festival hosted by Amy's Creative Side with my first major quilting project...
The Wish Quilt
The pattern is by Bronwyn Hayes and was in an Australian magazine over 3 issues. It was a huge quilt to take on after only ever having made a table runner before this. The embroidery took the longest but it was very enjoyable to sit and stitch in the evenings after the kids had gone to bed.
It includes embroidered blocks, raw edge applique and needle turn applique. It is hand quilted around the various stars, applique's and embroidered blocks. It includes the names of the members of my family and the family names of those nearest and dearest.
This will be a quilt that (I hope) will be passed down to my grandchildren and theirs...
fascinatingly wonderful quilt!! i love it--and love the family memory of it.
