After eighteen months off and on, my bride is finished and delivered to my quilter, who will have her ready for me to finish for an exhibition in March. It has been an enjoyable journey, sometimes challenging, and very rewarding. The most frustrating part has been finding it very difficult {impossible} to post photos of my progress. I think any other stitching will an anti climax for a few months, however now my very neglected garden will get some attention. Ann in N.Z.

ReplyDeleteAnn it is just beautiful. I love your personal blocks, especially the horse and cart, but yet it still has that special Civil War Bride Quilt appearance overall. Well done!!

I can appreciate not getting a good photo BUT I see some special blocks...buggy/horse and a house and front garden. What other unique things did you do ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us!!! We all love a good kick in the pants to sew more.
The table block just didn't appeal to me, so I made an urn with more berries in it, and as I am a huge fan of Michele Hills' patterns, I used a tree of hers and put the white ponies under it,[they are two who have been very special to me.] I decided the bride needed a house to live in, and as another interest of mine is carriage driving, included my black pony and red gig. Other than that I pretty well stuck to the pattern, oh yes, as i pressed the finished top, found a tiny blood stain on the bird of paradise block and had to add some acorns to cover it, luckily that block had oak leaves. Like you I found seeing other peoples progress was the needed kick in the pants, and having a deadline of an exhibition was what really kept me going, good luck!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your beautiful top, green is a great background, let your garden wait, it is quilting time!
ReplyDeleteAnn, this is sooo pretty! Congratulations on finishing the CWB!!! I love your choice of the grey-greenish background. Gives a real antique appeal. Wonderful work, and only 18 months!!! I am impressed!
