Wonder Land Quilt Complete!

Well, I have finally finished with the Wonder Land quilt!

I have been working on a gift of a commission for the past 12 months

(four hand stitched quilts).

There are two more to go (well on their way thankfully) so I am not done yet, but with each completion I feel a great sense of accomplishment and relief. Each of these quilts takes so much time and patience. Every stitch is made by hand... sometimes I think I have lost my mind but I really love the work for 95% of the process.... mostly I feel a Zen like calm. As the deadline approaches however, I hesitate to call my state of mind anything resembling to Zen.

Over the weekend we shared a slow and lovely Sunday with our friends Ron and Inga. Wonderful company, delicious food and delightful conversation. They are such dear friends and were kind enough to share their beautiful bedroom and king size bed to photograph the quilt. Inga even went so far as to order a sweet little rug from Morris etc to add a splash of color to the room.

I highly recommend a visit to their website to see some wonderful hand woven rugs.

So that is it... moving on to the next. Some champagne and cassis tonight then back to work on Thursday.
Stay tuned for the next two!
Many thanks to Karen Philippi for her wonderful photos... amazing as always!
