A Little Handwork

I say a little handwork but actually it will be ALOT of handwork.

I found these hand embroidered squares at a garage sale and just knew they would work up into an amazing quilt. I do know how long it takes to do hand embroidery and I know it took along time to do these 25 squares. So I decided it required hand quilting.

Considering all the other things I've got going I know this project will take some time to complete.

But it will be an awesome quilt when it's finished (if it's ever finished)

I also needed some solid fabric for my embroidery.

And naturally that led me to call Marshall Dry Goods.

I just love that store.

The fabrics are a good quality and the prices can't be beat.

I ordered these 5 bundles on Friday and got them on my doorstep on Monday.

Can't beat that.

I ordered 2 solids and 1 print for me and 1 solid and 1 print for my sister Beverly.

She is the baby of the family and she is taking care of our mother who has been in the hospital off and on for a month. I was going to send her some money to help out but knew she would like this better. Now I need to get it to her. I might just have her meet me halfway.

These are the 2 bundles she is getting

(So hard to let them go)

 

 And this is my stash all put up

Can't wait to start using them.  Hopefully this weekend.

I am working on a special quilt top that I need to get put together.

Hopefully I will get it finished this weekend also
