Finally A Finish


Trying to grab moments to sit and stitch seem to be few and far between lately. Having said that I did manage to find time to finally get this finished.

I decided not to use the wording that was included in the pattern, but instead chose to use filler squares.
The little rose buds were a breeze to make.


The actual roses weren't quite so much of a breeze.

More time consuming, but well worth the end result. I love the way it turned out and was happy with my first attempt at hand quilting.

Hopefully more to come sooner than this post.

Happy Stitching.
Linda
