Show and Tell

Just before the Stitches and Craft show I received this gorgeous quilt in the mail and have been terribly slow in sharing it with you.

Four Seasons Quilt Swap 5

It is for the Four Seasons Quilt Swap 5 Monochromatic challenge. Don't worry I was polite enough to thank Simone whose lovely work it is.

Look at the gorgeous detail in the embroidery.

The stitches are so tiny and neat as is the piecing. And it is all lovely green!

Thank you again Simone. As I said, it will definitely become part of our family's Christmas traditions!

That is so beautiful and green. You are so lucky, I am green with envy.(Not really, I just admire it!!)

Lucky you. Your lovely photos show the details so well. Would it be greedy to ask for a photo showing the whole quilt?

Hi Louise! I've just discovered your blog, and I'm so excited I've signed up to be your follower. This quilt is incredibly beautiful- I love the use of a single colour. I really need to get off my bum and learn how to quilt!!
