Stars in the Garden


This hand applique quilt, Stars In The Garden by Piece O"Cake Designs, was part of my late friends "stash". Her stash was distributed among a group of her closest friends. It is my honor to be finishing this quilt . She pieced the background fabrics  anticipating doing the hand applique to finish the quilt.

All applique is needle turned and stitched with #100 Silk thread. When finished the quilt will measure 70"x90".

Hydrangea

I am FINALLY finished the applique on this last block "Hydrangea". Next, I will assemble the quilt into one piece by adding the sashing around the blocks and apply the outer border. It will then be off to the quilter for quilting. When it returns from her I will still need to add the binding and a personalized label. That label will take a little thought and work on my part. I do enjoy that process as it signifies that one more project is finished and I am free to start another one.
