Bea and Cecile - flower sew-a-long

I scrapped the first two border choices in favor of the red pheasants. This is always a fun sew-a-long. There is so much variety. Do take a look at the Facebook group (here) and see all the wonderful quilts. I finished mine a bit early as I needed the therapy of hand quilting this week.

I would like to thank all of you for your kind comments on my last post. It meant a lot to me. It's been a tough week. Life is so short. Make sure to take a little extra time for yourself today. You deserve it!

    It’s very pretty. Yes handwork can be very meditative and therapeutic! Remember there’s no timeline for grieving. ❤️

    Oh, this is SO beautiful! Wonderful job, Wendy!
    I started my blog just after my best friend passed unexpectedly 8 years ago. Quilting and new friends helped me through the sorrow.

    A lovely finish - your border choice works so well. The comfort that is found with needle and thread is timeless.

    I'm a bit behind on everything and just catching up with the reading my favorite blogs. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend, Wendy. Hopefully the warm hugs from all your quilting friends will help soften the pain. And of course, the quilting itself. Your little quilt is darling ...

    Your quilt is just so charming with the chintz fabrics along with your flowers--and hand quilted to boot! I'm sure the act of hand quilting was good therapy after the loss of your friend--it's difficult, for sure. Sending hugs!

    You border fabric compliments the colors you chose for the hexies and draws your eye right to the center. You have best collection of fabrics. It's a great finish.

    Lovely Wendy and the hand quilting is so fine and elegant. The Red border is a great contrast. What's on the back? inquiring minds....

    I see you are getting the same spam as me maddening!
