Quilt in a Day-11 years actually



What is up with Eleanor Burns and her "Quilt In A Day"-her and how many assistants? This is an Applique project that I started in 1996 and finished this year in time for it hang above the fireplace for the holidays. I will say that there were 4 moves, a child, a divorce, a college degree, a new marriage and a new career all in those 10-11 years that contributed to the slowness of completion. So I guess Eleanor is not to blame.

The leaves are hand sewn and the quilting is a cross hatch design in the middle of the heart and chevron on the outside all done by machine. I love it and refuse to take it down. I figure that 11 years in and out of a box gives it a pass to hang beyond the season!
