Bloggers' Quilt Festival

Bloggers' Quilt Festival - Spring 2012

I already told my regular readers which quilt I would show today:
Birdie Stitches!!
 Hope they don't mind looking at it again.


This was a BOM from Corey at Little Miss Shabby for 2011!

It is difficult to show the full effect of the quilting on this quilt done by Mary of Quilt Hollow without showing some close-ups (lots of close-ups)!

Sarcastic Quilter said...

Gosh, I've said it before but I'll say it again, I LOVE this. It's beautiful. Can I have it for myself? I can stop pretending my own embroidery will get better and on days of lots of wine, I'll even be able to pretend this was my work.

No? -sigh- Well, I'm still envious and know you've done a fantastic job.
