Embroidery in blue

Nancy does not quilt but she sure makes up for it in her lovely embroidery!! This top took close to a year for her to hand embroidery. I was very honored when she brought it to me for the quilting and binding. We chose Hobbs Poly batting, white thread, and used the preprinted quilting lines for the stitching. I know one of her grandchildren will be blessed with all the love she has put into this piece of art.

That is going to be an heirloom piece for sure! A calm, clean, peaceful feeling after viewing quilt.

Beautifully done. Is it cross stitched?

Beautiful! I hope the pre-printed quilting lines wash out. Some of the kits from the past I've seen, still have the lines no matter how many times they have been washed.
