Playtime

Everything has been rather hit or miss these past few months:  blogging, letter writing, quilting, knitting….Thankfully, the weeks ahead look to be settling back into a normal rhythm.

Earlier this year one of my dear quilt group ladies passed away.  Her family donated her sewing materials to our group and we took time to sift and sort through it all.  One of the things we found were several blocks that had been embroidered.  L. took them and set them in a quilt to give her great-granddaughter.  She commissioned me to do the quilting, and I named it Playtime.


 Since the theme of all the fabrics was polka dots, I did a stipple with circles across the rows of blocks. 
 Butterflies in the sashing.
And hearts in the border.
 Here it is, almost finished.
Bound and ready for snuggling.  Adorable!
