<3's for Lin

I have 'met' a beautiful lady, Lin and she is making me a sweet quilt and I -- in turn -- made this 12' x 12' quilt for her.
We had to somehow incorporate hearts in our quilt and I pulled this 'theme' from a girl's shirt that was on the cover of a flyer for school clothes that came in our local newspaper. I added off-white embroidery swirls to highlight the khaki background fabric.

And seeing knotgarden's glorious flowers (oh! you must go & take a look!) that she has featured on her beautiful blog, I decided to include a flower for Lin & crocheted this mum. Now, it's all boxed up and headed off for a very loooooooooooong plane ride. Destination: Thailand.
~~
Enjoy the <3's, Lin!

    How pretty! I love the embroidery everyone does, and have never learned how to do it myself - although I'm thinking I desperately need how to learn! What a great mini quilt!

    As always it's your embroidery and your choice of colours that makes your work stand out! You've got me thinking I need to do some embroidery. The little quilt is gorgeous and so is the lovely flower.

    The wee quilt is delightful...such fine stitches in your embroidery, and so imaginative. Thanks so much for sharing.

    And thanks for stopping by my own blog and leaving such nice comments. One always wonders if anyone reads what one writes and/or will be affected by one's own opinion...thanks for affirming me!
