Suzan's Patchwork Garden

My oldies but goodies, all hand quilted...  YES!!  Quilted by hand,   I didn't have an APQS longarm  a few or many years ago. I enjoyed quilting by hand and when I went home to Vermont I would get Mom on one side of the quilt and me on the other and we would quilt in the afternoon for an hour or so and just talk.  Sometimes it was a game...to see how much we could quilt in an hour , then reward ourselves with a cup of tea and a cookie :-)  or two!!    It's finished binding is done and the quilt is washed and dried. This one will be going home on Tuesday.   I so love the texture on the black rose background I quilted t...
