My quilting productivity always takes a hit this time of year, superseded by Christmas prep - shopping, decorating, baking, wrapping. You know the drill. But, in keeping with the fresh dusting of snow that we just received I have progress of Betty's white quilt to share with you; consider it an early Christmas gift.
She seems to be flying through these blocks and already has a number of them together.
Those stunning blocks look even more magical when they all come together.
I just love those little snippets of embroidered colour that pop out of heavy lace.
And she is going to work in these two mementos from her daughter Julia's recent wedding - the hankie that she received and the little heart that Julia gave to her dad; it reads: 'Dad, I loved you first'. How sweet.
In addition to being stunning this project is a testament to how quickly a hand stitched quilt can come together. I'm so looking forward to seeing it grow....M

Wow! So incredible in a really subtle, layers and layers sort of way!
Another stunning work of art to hang in the museum of modern quilting!
The neutrals and the textures are beautiful.
