Well cuties, here it is, my lap quilt. Almost 500,000 stitches in all (no wonder I’m tired lol) and now it is finished, ready for its 1000 km trip to my GD. As you can see I had two sizes for my embroidery designs but all my blocks were 9” x 14 1\2”. I framed each block because I wanted it to look like a picture. Remember that this is only my second quilt so there are a few boo-boos . I hope my GD will not notice them. This has been quite a learning experience for me and I hope to do it again.

I love how you create your scenes. You've done a great job. You should be very proud of yourself!

Michelle, it is beautiful!!!!! Your GD will treasure it for many years I'm sure! Great job!

Well done Michelle, a mighty fine job & a very sweet heirloom for GD :)

you did a fantastic job on this quilt for it to be your second one...Keep up the great work and you will be winning awards soon, but the best award is the approval from your granddaughter!!!

Well took a much needed few days off and I come back to all your wonderful comments and support. This is such a great community.
Thanks so much to everyone and I am glad that you like it as much as I do.
Hugs to everyone,
Michelle rested and ready to go LOL

Its Lovely Michelle-no mistakes stand out -only all the love you stitched in which is the most important thing. The blocks look great in your quilt.

That is gorgeous

Amazing job you did, Michelle! Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work,

Every picture tells a story - truly a picture quilt. Lovely work Michelle and very inspirational. I must be more adventurous, even without as large a hoop as you have. Jan

This is gorgeous and any boo-boos aren't obvious so no one will ever know. I love the barn :-) Very well done.

hugs Lenamae

Michelle, I am speechless & in awe of your fantastic work on this piece!

Hé bien, ça valait vraiment la peine d'attendre, c'est magnifique !!! et ça n'est que le 2ème si j'ai bien compris la traduction.
Entre la broderie, le patchwork et l'assemblage, je comprend que tu sois fatiguée.
Tu ne signes pas ton oeuvre ??
J'ai une amie/collègue québecoise qui vit actuellement à Singapour, qui va avoir un bébé en début d'année. Je ne lui ferais certainement pas une couette (je ne suis pas aussi douée que toi) mais j'espère pouvoir trouver une idée originale.
Je n'avais pas fait attention à la taille des blocs, tu dois avoir un très grand cadre (le mien ne fait que 20x20 cm pour le plus grand et encore en divisant le motif en 2, sinon c'est 14x18 cm).
Comme tu sembles déborder d'idées, je suis sur que tu penses déjà au 3ème (les 4 saisons, la plage, la montagne, les fleurs, les fruits et légumes, un abcdaire, les couleurs, ....
Bon courage pour les futures travaux et encore bravo.

so beautiful. Love it. You have done a wonderful job

I LOVE it. It turned out wonderful. I am not a bit disappointed. You have done such a fantastic job. The picture story makes it so wonderful that I didn't notice the boo-boos. I would have to hunt for them.

It is just gorgeous. Well done. A great gift to treasure ***

Wow. I knew it was going to be great but this is sooo much more, you have done a wonderful job, a quilt made with the heart is the best gift. If you have made any boo-boos you don’t notice them because your eye is attracted to the embroidery. (Don’t forget to label it. It makes it so much more personal) Congratulations to a job Well done
