I made this quilt by cutting flowers out of a larger piece of fabric and
attached them on the background using vliesofix and a hot iron. Then I draw stems and leaves with a pencil and covered the pencil lines with embrodery stitches. The borders are sewn on with the machine and I quilted by hand. It's a very bright and colored quilt, I tried to capture summer, and I believe I did.
The quilt is wrapped and ready for sending. As usually I had to wait till the very last date, of course!
Well, and today is the first day of fall and still we enjoying the most lovely weather. So now I'm of to the post office...I've a package to send!
You certainly did capture summer and all that is sunny. Wish I were the lucky recipient. Thank you for sharing your work. I check back every so often to see your progress on things. Always a treat too.
