By the end of our fifteen day cruise I had all of the letters and little pictures done.
The trimmed blocks, ready for setting.
Beginning the setting.
After adding the inner border I thought about adding a strippy-pieced outer border, after auditioning a piece I abandoned that idea; it seemed too strong and distracting. I will add an outer border, in a tone-on-tone turquoise color, I just need to find the right piece. This small quilt measures 30" X 35" right now, before the outer border is added.
This is the little girl version, there is a boy version too; I believe I need to do that one as well!
Now I know my ABCs, next time won't you sing with me?
Life is Good!

That is going to make such a sweet quilt for a special someone. Your stitching is precious and the setting fabrics are perfect. I hope you find the border fabric that is perfect soon!
I love your embroidery blocks! I just was in my sewing room looking for my embroidery basket and had a mental block and couldn't find it. I came and sat down and picked up my laptop. First blog I clicked on was yours and there's your embroidery post. Now I'm determined to go find it! That's what I get for sorting and reorganizing -- I can't remember where I put things. The room is small so sooner or later I'm destined to find it. Happy stitching! xo c
Very cute, good use of sitting around time!
This is just wonderful - I love the colorful plaids with the delicate embroidery.
I'm glad you posted this ~ I've been wondering where you found the pattern. It's adorable and my fingers are itching to do something like this!! Well done!
Downright precious, Mrs. G. Has a very vintage feel to it. Your stitching is beautiful.
Do you have a recipient in mind (or will you be needing my address)? :)
Oh how cute!! Hey, I have those same fabrics...what a wonderful idea for them!
S is for Smitten, which is what I am. I wish I'd know about this several years back! My littles aren't so little now . . . .
adorable project....
Very cute -- and the perfect take along project.
What a precious, precious quilt! How smart of you to take your project on a cruise!
