Wow, what a treat to hear from you. Just love all the hand stitching. What type of thread or threads did you use? In your Blog, you had mentioned DMC. I imagine you used DMC embroidery floss and DMC Pearl Cotton. Wonder how many skeins you went through.
Did you have a embroidery/needlepoint 'bible' handy to help with the stitches? Which ones/s?
Sorry for all the questions. I used to do alot of handwork and am intriged by your quilt.
