Hand quilting 'eye candy'

[KDbeads]

Just wanted to show off something I've had in our club frames since February. Mom rescued the embroidery blocks from a thrift store (circa 1970 according to the pattern instructions actually still with them with all the floss numbers), I finished them, manhandled them into a quilt and here we are! Still have a bit more to do like fixing little things here and there and binding but, it's mostly done. My very first hand quilted quit with this club.

When it was being finished:

This is the first time I've used attic windows actually, these panels though, they had to have them.

It should wind up being a cherished piece to be passed down.

Gorgeous!
I wish I could quilt. Too bad the only needle skill I have is making myself bleed.
