Slowly we are beginning to venture away from home for short trips and the other day I shared the undeniable pleasure of hand stitching on the deck at Jane's lakeside home, accompanied by both Linda and Jane. The the usual show and tell unfolded, with lots of gorgeous projects to share; top of mind was Linda's charming
Little Trees.
It's for her youngest granddaughter, Lucy, who recently moved out to the east coast. It will be a Christmas gift but she and Jane are heading out for a visit in a couple of weeks so she wanted it finished up so that it could be wrapped and delivered in person.
It is just SO sweet, isn't it?! In addition to adding a couple of borders she stitched a personalized message, the icing on the cake.
And could that backing be any more fun?? It's flannel so it is guaranteed to be warm and cuddly. Such a special gift - Lucy will be more than thrilled!
The finishing touches are all done so nothing left to do but get it wrapped and delivered....M
What a lovely gift that quilt will be;)))
ReplyDeleteSure to be loved to pieces.

I'm so glad you were able to venture out and spend the day surrounded by your friends and quilts. Linda's quilt is a perfect holiday gift. Her granddaughter will love it. I love striped fabrics for the binding.
ReplyDeleteFeeling a little green with envy for your day on the deck … but, so happy you all got together!
ReplyDeleteI love Linda’s quilt! That border fabric is gorgeous, and how sweet is her message? A gift that will be treasured!
