GARDEN SAMPLER

"Garden Sampler" is finished. I prepped the wool on cotton blocks last fall.   I came across them in a bin recently and decided it was time to finish the project. I started doing the hand stitching on the  wool applique pieces last week. The blocks were sewn together yesterday, minimal quilting done, and binding added. I finished up the hand work this morning.
The pattern for "Garden Sampler" is by A Piece of Work.

I also made two wool pincushions.  The bee skep is a repeat of one I made previously.  I showed a friend how to do the wool applique so we were each making one.  It is a good design for a beginner to start on.

Nice to have you stop by for a visit.  Check in again soon.
