    A fellow QB member requested a picture of this so..It was a stamped cross stitch bedspread from Hershners sometime early 80's. My DD gave me the kit for Christmas and planned to finish it for me. I finally asked if she would mind if I finished and of course she said not at all.
    It was my first hand quilting and I considered myself pretty experienced by the time I finished it. Thank you for looking.

    It is just so beautiful. The colors you used are timeless. Do you ever look at this beauty and marvel at your accomplishment?
    I used to get the Hershner's catalog back in the 80's and would pour over the pages of quilts.

    This is the type of quilt that becomes a family heirloom, a real treasure.
