I am making my Mother-in-law a embroied lap quilt for Christmas
I got this panel at a quilt shop in our area
It has 12 blocks of different flowers, You could paint, do red work or what ever
I did hand embroidery. I have finshed the flower blocks took almost a month.
I like to do detailed embelshments when I do things like this.
I tired to do each flower in their natural color.
I am hand quilting this. I backed it with a sorta baby blue cotton material that has little white stars in it
I am almost on row 3 of the flower blocks.
I intend to put prairie square points all around to look more like a quilt
I was going to put the warm and natural all cotton batting in between; but, that is so hard to hand quilt through
I am hand quilting it without a hoop or frame
I tired with a hoop and I didn't care for it
I love to hand quilt
I hope to get it finished before Christmas
The panel was meant to be a wall- hanging ; but I turned it into a lap quilt
I hope she likes it. It will take a few more weeks to finsh the hand quilting part. Pinkroses

Sounds so pretty...I would love to see it too! I love embroidery and hand quilting both too and do them both when I can. When I am doing lap size or smaller quilts I like to do them on my lap without a hoop too. Bigger ones I use my frame for.
Be sure to post a picture Sheila..we would love to see it!!
