A while back, Kathryn took an embroidery class with me, and she’s stayed in touch ever since, sharing her beautiful creations. This is her latest, and it is stunning!
I’ll let her tell it in her own words:
“I thought you might like to see this, which I have made for my mum for her 80th birthday…I did 28 little embroideries of things that remind me of her, and then put them in a quilt.”
She adds that she got the idea for the quilt from the project here, on the lovely Feeling Stitchy blog.
Here are some of the closeups of the hand embroidery that make up this marvellous heirloom piece (click on the pics to enlarge):
I love the deeply personal quality of this piece, and I really get an insight into Kathryn’s loving relationship with her mother – the motifs she chose are so evocative. I’m just blown away by the work and care that went into this project. Well done Kathryn!
