Grandpa's Bridges
 
4 Attachment(s)
Here are 4- of the Grandpa's Bridges I have completed. These blocks are very detailed but stunning. It says to use 2 strands of floss but I'm using only one, as the lines are so close it looks like it all runs together. This pattern is Primrose Lane Mama's Quilts.

Why only one strand? Just curious.

Very nice. They remind me of the bridges in New Hampshire and Vermont.

Beautiful work, I have that pattern and hope mine turns out this well. Is that variegated floss that you are using? Thank you for sharing.

Love this part of the quilt, waiting to see completed quilt

I tried it with the two and the lines just seem to run together since there so close.

WOW, that is going to be beautiful. Great job.

You are doing a wonderful job, can't wait to see it done.

Ellageo 03-22-2014 04:18 AM

These are so great! I'm assuming you will be making a quilt with them, we must see it when you are done! I am lucky to have 2 covered bridges within 10 miles of my home. Just love 'em.

buddy'smom 03-22-2014 04:42 AM

Yes, they will go into a quilt. Oh I would love to see an old cover bridge again, there so beautiful.

WOW is all I can say would love to have a pattern for my embroidery machine of these. I can't do hand stitching any more due to trimmers, things would me painted red by the time I did even 10 stitches. Love them good job.

cpcarolyn 03-22-2014 07:05 AM

Wow great blocks.

pegquilter8 03-22-2014 07:45 AM

MargeD 03-22-2014 09:04 AM

Very, very nice, and you are doing a beautiful job with the embroidery. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Mariposa 03-22-2014 09:04 AM

Great blocks! I like the variegated thread too, it adds to your lovely stitching!

KimS 03-22-2014 09:31 AM

You're embroidery is very nice!! Can't wait to see how you put them all together and quilt them. It's going to be beautiful!! :)
