Yesterday I finished the last birthday gift for August for my staff members with this little crazy quilt. The fabrics are from a Moda collection called Wuthering Heights (from several years ago). I quite enjoyed working on this little baby! I gave it to the (belated) birthday girl today so I thought I'd share photos with you. :)
The color scheme of the fabric collection was a soft cream, soft brown-pink, turquoise/robin's egg blue, chocolate brown and deep brick-red. I do love these colors together! :) It was fun to do the embroidery - all very simple stitching. I wanted to portray three roses and one leaf ... and I _think_ it worked. The qulit is only about 20" square. Here is the whole thing (laying across my messy desktop):
I machine quilted it with floral/petal like meandering. I wanted to compress the 'background' and let the embroidered sections pop up - worked quite well. :)
I have another staff birthday coming up soon - gotta go on working!
:) Linda
