Over the River....

and through the woods is a pattern by Crab Apple Hill Designs. I did the hand embroidery, and machine pieced and quilted this quilt on my Babylock Quest domestic machine. It will be staying with DH and I. All the fabrics except for the narrow, black border came from my stash. It's all set to hang, if I can just find the right place!

One of the prettiest I've seen. Such lovely work ... everything about it is perfect ... sigh.

Wow, what beautiful work. Your hand embroidery is fantastic. This must have taken you some significant time to create. I would be keeping it at home too.

Fantastic! beautiful! I envy your talent.

Beautiful! How many strands of floss did you use?

That is perfect, from the embroidery, the block arrangement, the colors, the quilting. What a wonderful quilt.

Very very pretty. I've wanted to make one of these for years just haven't bought the pattern.

I used Valdani pearl cotton, a varigated black.

Beautiful quilt and embroidery work!

nicely done... great colors

very nice job! when I made mine I did all of the embroidery in shades of blue then all the patch work in blues and fairy frost whites- it is one of my mom's favorite quilts! (of course each quilt I make her is her favorite :D) but this one seems to spend the whole winter on the bed. I keep thinking I should make another one, one of these days- seeing yours makes me really want to do it again...maybe in reds next time. :) I love yours following the pattern color scheme. great job!

psumom 03-31-2014 02:45 PM

Thanks, everyone! I love doing the embroidery while watching TV in the evening with DH. Otherwise, I fall asleep! :)

Your quilt is a real beauty! Your work is fabulous!

Beautiful quilt. Hand embroidery is really special, and I love the brown colors.

Nammie to 7 03-31-2014 05:10 PM

I love that pattern!! You did a great job on the embroidery and piecing. Nice that most of it came from your stash. I have a different one of the designs to piece and embroider. Just need to do it!! I keep pulling UFO's out that need hand work and then get stuck so don't do anything! That is where I am on the Halloween Baltimore. I have some tiny spider bodies to applique and am scared to do it.

Diane007 03-31-2014 05:10 PM

That is gorgeous!!!! I love their quilt patterns......even though I don't have any of them.

Jordan 04-01-2014 05:24 AM

Beautiful quilt and nicely done. I have that pattern and keep pulling it out once in awhile thinking I will start it but just never have the inspiration to do so. I think you just inspired me to start. I love the browns you did it up in. Thank you for sharing.

nunnyJo 04-01-2014 05:25 AM

nativetexan 04-01-2014 06:32 AM

Looks like so much work. Nice quilt.

I just purchased a crab hill pattern to make a pillow with. I have the 4 four season blocks finished but have now sewn them up into a quilt.
Your is lovely and inspiring.

sak658 04-02-2014 06:50 PM

I have this pattern and have collected all my black and white fabrics...just need to get started on it...maybe by Christmas...but it is on the project list...Love your color choice and the quilting is so beautiful...
