Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. The hand stitching is thoughtful and beautifully done and it was ingenious to add the backing fabric after most of the embroidery and quilting was done, then go back and add more quilting! I love your process!
I too have several calendar inspirations waiting to be “transcribed “ into quilts. Your piece is just perfect for giving me a gentle reminder of the beauty around. Thank you for sharing the process.
Your work is exquisite. Your stitch wanderings needle turn appliqué with embroidery just lives rent free in my head and I think about it so often, and I want to make something like that!

thank you so much Carolyn. It was a bit of an experiment doing it this way but it actually worked out!
Beautiful Jo
Thanks for addressing the issue of taking care of the hands in planning a piece. I really appreciate this.
Oh good I’m pleased that resonated with you. I have to consider this all the time with the amount of hand work I do and my advancing age!
Incredibly beautiful. I love the soft subdued tones and the hand stitching is amazing.
A truly wonderful piece of art -love it
Oh thanks so much Jane!! Xx
Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. I wish I had more patience to hand stitch, because it is so beautiful.
Thank you Gitte! I think if you really enjoy it you don’t need any patience for it 😉
I have this calendar. Beautiful artwork.
Thank you!
