The Accidental Embroiderer

An unusual project

 I just don’t know where the time goes – it’s ten days since I posted here, and I usually like to put something up weekly. Never mind – as it happens I have a nice large finished project to show

Some time ago I mentioned that I was doing some designs for someone who wanted to make a quilt for a young relative. She asked for some very unusual designs – mushrooms, snails and a frog among others – which I found really interesting to do. I stitched out the designs while she assembled all the stitchouts and came up with this fascinating version

An unusual layout

It’s not a conventional quilt layout, but none the worse for that. It could be used as a bedspread or hung on the wall, and it’s such an imaginative piece that I think it will be appreciated by the recipient for many years to come
