Homestead
 
4 Attachment(s)
Homestead is an Anita Goodesign. This was my first time of appliqueing. I dedicate this quilt to my mother-in-law that passed away a week before I got it finished. She is the one who inspired me to quilt. She made many quilts and wall hangings for family, friends, and for benefits. She did get to see some of the individual blocks before I got them sewn together and quilted. She would smile when I showed her the completed blocks, she was unable to talk.

Very nice work, I am sure your MIL loved watching you work on it.
Love the animals - horse, pig, duck and cow.

I have these embroidery designs, but plan to make it after retirement. How long did it take you to complete it?
