It all started when my husband saw this quilt made up in fall colors at a favorite quilt shop. He showed me the quilt. He rarely has any suggestions of things he likes in a store. So I purchased the pattern. ( I have liked the design as well.)
It took me a week just to trace the 3 panels and baste the backing fabric onto each one. And that was in July of 2016.
I started with the panel with the trees, followed by the one with the most embroidery and the beautiful bridge and sleigh, leaving the words for the tail end. I have carried it on several car trips, especially to my Mom's in Canada. So lots of miles, lots of memories and lots of time have traversed these 3 panels.
And here we are on the final countdown:
Hooray! I know I can finish it today.
I did one of those - I winter scene in red - I think it was called "winter wonderland" They are always cute

How exciting for you!! It is always a wonderful feeling to near the finishing of a stitching project. I can't wait to see the finished quilt. I love that your husband suggested you buy it because he loves it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a feeling of accomplishment you must have! There's nothing like finishing a project that has been around for a long time. Looking forward to seeing it.
