Sibling Quilts

Here they are, "Sister Bear" and "Brother Bear", both finished at last. Each of these are made from hand embroidered blocks done over a number of years, from the same book: "S is For Stitch" by Kristyne Czepuryk. These were fun to work on; and, like human siblings, each one has its own unique personality! 

It wasn't until they were both completed that I realized "Brother Bear" was larger than his sister quilt. I cut the logs for this one just a skosh bigger. That's okay, they're not identical twins. 😉

I quilted up the borders differently too; again, keeping them similar~ but different in their own way.

Mr. Goodneedle always asks me the same question when I'm hand stitching the binding down: "where is this one going?"  I honestly have no idea when it comes to these two. 

For now, it's simply enough that they're done! 

Life is Good!

Finished is good - especially when the results make you happy. Not every quilt HAS to have a destination. Making is enough of a reason for me.

These are cute as can be. The right recipients will surface when you least expect it. So much love and stitching went into these.

Wow! Not claimed yet? They are both lovely but actually they have quite different feels about them. I like what you quilted in the sister's quilt border. Got to try that!
