~Made with Love~

 It's "DONE" it's really done, I can't believe it....I sewed and sewed and sewed some more, yes indeed I did, I even hand stitched  40 feet 10 inches of binding.. Can I just tell you (my fingers hurt) LOL.
 Gary and I have a king size bed and as you can see the quilt is over sized. I even have quite a bit folded over by the pillows. (You can click to enlarge any photo if you like)

 The pattern is called the "Double Irish Chain" The quilt is a gift for Gary in celebration of our 35th anniversary we had in February. This is my second quilt I have made and I'm now hooked on quilting..

 There are 100 Seminole's in the boarder and I used five different fabrics to make the quilt.

I made the crocheted afghan years ago and always have it at the foot of the bed. The embroidery my sister made for Gary and I for our 20th anniversary. I recently made into the pillow is in the center of the bed, I think adds a lot of charm and sweetness. 

 
I still have to make the pillow cases and will start on then next weekend. I have big dreams and  plans for the room, I would love to clad the walls and change the curtains and, and you know how it goes. Actually I'm working on the plans right now..

 The back side of the quilt, I love floral every time I try to move away from it, I always end up with some kind of print it just calls out to me... I almost forgot to tell you, I had the quilter use a light blue thread and  double the stitching thread so that the design would show up better.

I really enjoyed making this quilt and giving it to Gary..He said he Love's it, it made me so happy.
Remember the red, white and blue Ohio Star quilt I showed you, well I finished it and its now at the quilters. Its a lot smaller thank goodness then the Double Irish Chain, I don't think my little tired fingers could take hand stitching another 40 ft 10 in. Teehehe.
