Pictures of Embroidery Quilt - Finished!!
 
2 Attachment(s)
This is a gift for my son's girlfriend whose 21st birthday is today. I hope she'll like it as much as I enjoyed making it. It was my first embroidery project and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. The designs were from emblibrary.com.

I stitched the label into the binding since I expect it will be going back to college with her in the fall.

What a work of art!! I just love embroidery quilts because they are so elegant. Emblibrary has the most wonderful designs and they always stitch beautifully. I hope you will send them a picture of this quilt for their website! Thanks for sharing

blondeslave 06-27-2012 06:21 AM

Very pretty!

cmw0829 06-27-2012 07:14 AM

I want to thank you all for the compliments on the quilt. My son brought it to her last night (late). He got home after I'd gone to bed and just called me at work to give me the reaction.

I wrapped it up so that the first thing she'd see when opening the box would be the label. He didn't know I'd made the quilt and was ecstatic about it (saying it was "flawless" - nobody else sees our mistakes :) ). He says that she loved it and "couldn't get enough of it." Her mother cried because her mother used to make quilts. But it sounds as if it was a hit. I am so happy. I was so worried that she might not like it as it might not be her taste.

I think she will be a keeper. They've been together for 5 years with a six month breakup last year. Either way, she's a lovely girl who has been uncertain of my feelings about her. I hope she's reassured about that now.
