    Default Christmas Irish Chain finished and delivered

    Made this quilt for my sister-in-law. The widow of eldest DB, she has been with our family almost as long as I have, and I love her dearly. When I was growing up she played piano for our family sing-a-longs so I thought the Christmas music embroidery was appropriate, and she is half Irish thus the Irish Chain. I gifted the quilt to her last week when I visited. The embroidery designs are from emblibrary.com. Quilt is 54x72, straight-line quilted on DSM. SIL is always cold so I used W&N batting and fleece backing. She loves the warmth and I am so happy with the way this turned out.
