I found this at a gargae sale in the mid- ninties and I could not figure out how to change the name and other information that had been embroidered on the bottom of it. So, it has been hiding amoungest my UFO's in my sewing closet all this time. I ran across it the other day while cleaning out the closet. I decided it was time to use or lose it. I just cut the bottom off where all the info was.
There was a small issue of staining from the coral embroidery thread and the fabric is so thin you can see through it to the huge knots she had made and the skip stitches from one part of the design to the other. But, it was just so dog gone cute, I went ahead and pieced it and quilted it yesterday.
I used shout on the stains to pre-soak and they came out fine. But, you will see there was nothing to be done about the shadowing from the threads.
