A quilt isn't quite finished until it is labelled right?
So, I'm still contemplating what I should have on the label. But other than that, my Sister's quilt is ready to gift for her sixtieth birthday. Her birthday is next week but I think I can stretch this out until the party which is the week after. I like to embroider most of my labels so it will take a bit of extra time.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy seeing the unlabelled but otherwise finished quilt.
My apologies for the yellow tinge to some of the photos, I took them at night.
This frill neck lizard is finished off in 3D.

My sister made the appliqued/machine embroidered blocks many years ago. She gave them to me when I took up patchwork and quilting and I've hung onto them for some years now. I hope she likes what I've done with them!
I did some free motion quilting in the floral blocks and the rest was quilted in the ditch.

Oh D, that is wonderful. I'm sure your sister will love what you did with her blocks and what a splendid surprise birthday gift.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kath, I've fallen in love with the colours! I'm sure she'll love it.
