Cross Stitched and pieced by me. My very first quilt!!! Quilted by a local new friend. My oldest daughter picked the cross stitch pattern but let me pick the rest as long as the material was "poke-a-dot" and she and my granddaughter can snuggle under it. Its 80"x80", so there is plenty of cuddling space. I am so proud of it! The quilting matchs the quilt "mood" perfect.
Now I have started designing a princess pp quilt for my only granddaughter. Cann't wait to start sewing.
Thanks for stopping by to look.

Beautiful quilt. Your cross stitching is gorgeous.

Sewfine 09-08-2011 01:23 PM

OMG, that is absolutely stunning. Did you have a pattern for the cross stitch?

cat378 09-08-2011 01:31 PM

Thanks for all the great kudos. But I could not have done it without this quilting forum and tutorials. I took my time and read all I could on what ever stage I was on. SO I must say "thank you" to all you great teachers.
The cross stitch is a stamped pattern. Counted cross stitch is tough to concetrat on when there is so much going on around me. I tend to lose my place :)

TrenbeathRanch 09-08-2011 01:35 PM

Very nice! That must have taken forever to do...well done!
