A promise fullfilled - well almost!

I've already shown you one small project that I made on the Club Quilt retreat a couple of weeks ago but the main project I took along was one that is very special to me.... I don't know why it seems to have taken me weeks to finally photograph it....hmmm!

When my Aunt passed away this time last year she left an unfinished quilt behind that she had asked me to complete and I'm pleased to say the top is finally done.... It's a beautiful quilt and I think she would be very happy with it!

My Aunt had done a lot of the work and had finished down to the bird row which she had already half stitched.... I did the rest. When I look at my contribution now it doesn't seem like much but it took me the best part of the weekend!

The vine at the top will have yo-yo flowers added after quilting


That pattern is called "Country Hearts" by Patwork Pumpkin.

So now I just have to find some backing and send it off to be quilted!

Until next time.....
