Our small Thursday sewing group is making a special quilt for a special person. This special person is called Sue ( no computer - so she won't be reading this). Sue will be turning 70 early next year so we just had to do a quilt for her. We are all (9 of us) making a 20" block. The colours were chosen by us all, and we agreed we would base our patterns around hearts.
Sue appreciates hand applique and embroidery and does beautiful work in these techniques herself. (Hope she doesn't look too closely at mine!!).
This is my original design and I am very pleased with how it has come up. The empty spaces are for some hand quilting, probably hearts.
Nine hearts!
When we get all our blocks altogether I will share them here for you all to look at. This quilt is going to be awesome!!
