I received a beautiful quilt in the mail from my girl friend
Cindy. When we had the last girl's get together, Teresa
gave her some quilt blocks & quilt tops she purchased
at a farm auction. There were several hand quilted
blocks in the Tree of Life or Pine Tree pattern. Cindy set
the pieces with green borders and blocks in a wonderful
brown fabric that looks vintage.
The back is the same brown fabric and it's bound
in the green fabric.
She hand quilted the Tree of Life blocks
in a matching green.
The brown blocks are hand stippled in a lovely
brown. Cindy wanted them to have texture that
simulates tree bark.
The quilt is so soft and looks antique. It's
just beautiful. She's done a wonderful job.
I will cherish it always, thank you so much.

Cinders age 8. What a cutie!
I have 2 new special dolls made by Martha Bishop
that I will introduce in my next post. Can't wait
for you to meet them!
Lovely little quilt to go with Martha's dolls!
ReplyDeleteYour friend Cinders looks like an elf--full of life and mischief! That quilt is a treasure and a work of art.
ReplyDeleteI love the Tree of Life blocks. Cinders did a wonderful job putting it all together. I especially like the hand stippling, but looks like lots of work. I always wonder about old pieces...about the hands who first held the needle, thread, and cloth. I am looking forward to seeing your wonderful Martha dolls...lucky you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a special quilt and It does look antique. So much work to make it. Can't wait to see your dollies all dressed up. Cindy was a cutie at that age, and probably still is.
