Mother-in-law's Lap Quilt

Hey there

This is my Mother-in-law's Christmas present, a lap quilt...


It took me about 2 months to finish the embroidery.
She really seemed to like it; I think it surprised her that I would do that much work for her. She loves flowers. I tried to match the colors of the flowers as close as I could to the real thing. We were happy with the results.

I'm speechless ~ that is one of the most amazing quilts I've ever seen.

Do you have a county fair in your area? I'm sure it would be a blue ribbon winner if you entered it.

Blessings,
Lea
