One down and another one on its way

This little wall hanging is now totally done.

 The binding is finished, the label is on and the hanging sleeve is attached. It now hangs in my hall and is the first thing you see when you enter. I thought it fitting since spring will soon be here and the sun outside is getting stronger. We have been having a very mild winter.

 I chose to bind it in the lightest colour because it just looked so good there. It is machine quilted and has a flat cotton batt.

I am now going to see if I can finish this one and move on to something more interesting. I have a quilt that I want to hand quilt but it needs a bit more work done on it.

Check out what others are working on at the Needle and Thread Network.

A great combination, embroidery and quilting. My gramma used to do both on her quilts almost all of the time, but I have not yet done it someday? maybe? Love yours!

That is so, so pretty Dolores - I think the light binding is perfect, and the embroideries are so darling!! Spring really will be here soon...after another little taste of winter, lol. We've turned cold again today, after temps in the 50's.

The quilt is lovely - we haven't even had winter yet, though we still seem to be having spring today. (Aren't you in Toronto, too?)
