New Quilt Pix "Spring Lake"

Finally finished this quilt for a raffle at a local Art & Craft Show
for our guild. It was a real trial to finish because the flowers were
hand appliqued on to the pieced background and it was difficult to
decide how to machine quilt around them. With hand quilting it is
easier because you can just dodge the stems and flowers with the needle
under the fabric. The sashiko quilting was done by hand with the real
sashiko thread. That was fun.
I think this project has cured me of ever wanting to receive a
commission - it was far too stressful. If people see one of my quilts
and desire to buy it, then that's fine by me LOL.

This is the reason I haven't been posting for the last 2 months, just
popped in for a quick read over breakfast!

Oh Bronnie, that's absolutely gorgeous. I love the design, the fabrics
and the quilting. So beautiful. Well done you.
No wonder you've been 'absent'. The variety in your work is amazing.
You are striding through styles and conquering them.

Wow, that is gorgeous, Bronnie. I love how all the different elements come
together to make the whole. I couldn't give that up for a raffle, that's for
sure.

Thanks Pat! You're too kind. I am so glad it is finished. The show is
not until April. I'll be overseas so will be spared the pain of seeing
how ticket sales are progressing LOL

That's one of the prettiest quilts I've seen in a long time! And IMO you are
certifiable :-)
