I see my hand embroidered quilt got re-discovered after many years of being hidden in the archives. I do remember my efforts to post it. I have never been good at posting my projects and took several attempts before I finally succeeded in posting it. That is why I was asking for forgiveness. It is all hand embroidered and quilted. it took me 3 years to finish and it is on my bed as I type. I love to do hand embroidery as much as I love machine embroidery. I have another hand embroidered quilt top in the works and want to machine embroider the backing so the quilt will be reversible. I am promising myself I will finish it next year. Thanks for admiring a project that I am proud of displaying.

It was great to see it again Karen. Such beautiful work.

It is so beautiful, I am sure the one you are working on now will be as impressive. Hand quilted... or hand embroidered! Beautiful!

I saw that! amazing how it popped up againafter all this time. You quilt is so nice to look at again! HUGS Suzanne

Love it be proud:);)

I think it deserves to come up again, it is so beautiful.

I agree! While I didn't post much during that time...that was one Project that had and still has my attention and flowers.

I saw it in Projects and it is gorgeous Karen! Such beautiful work. I am afraid I would have never finished it. I get bored, doing the same over and over, reminds me of my sewing days at the factory. I'm glad you persevered to the end.

It is beautiful Karen! Awesome work of art!

And isn't it gorgeousKaren? I'm sorry I missed it back in 2011 - what a lot of work has gone into it. No wonder you are so proud. Love Chris

I'm like you I love hand embroidery and take it with me if I travel. Keeps the hands busy and breaks the ice in some places...keeps me from getting nervous. :-)

Wow! Leah, I find that hard to believe that you get nervous. You have a very quick wit! Love your responses to some of mine and other posts! Love Chris

That's because this is anonymous and everyone on here as such a wonderful sense of humor! :-)

I used to do all this by hand, but since I have a embroidery machine those kits or fabrics are collecting dust. I knit or crochet in front of the TV.
