I quilted 8 stars on my 15- 20 minute journey each day. As I quilted , my thoughts wandered, and I pondered who might have been the piecer of this beauty.
From the bright happy colors , you know she had to be full of cheer and with the variety of fabrics - a collector after my own heart. 💙💚💛🤗 Today my needle will continue its' stroll.
I also hope to finish the Blackbird Designs stitch called Merry Hearts.
