Every year at this time, we add some fall mums to our garden
and I pull out this quilt and do some very slow stitching.
Here is this quilt on August 15, 2020
This is the quilt before I started the embroidered leaves:
There are 64 background squares in this Schnibbles quilt top
I have been slowly embroidering free form leaves since then.
I add a few more embroidered leaves every year.
One year I will be finished.
Perhaps this will be the year.
Happy Stitching!

This quilt is definitely slow stitching, but who am I to comment. It took me 20 years to hand quilt the first quilt that I made. LOL. This is so pretty. I am not ready for Fall yet, because that means I have to go back to work. I am a teacher.
This is a very pretty fall quilt. I wouldn't have the patience to add a leaf or two a year. Happy stitching!
Good morning Pat, your leaves are looking good. It's nice to have some hand stitching to do. Have a lovely day.
This is such a pretty quilt and I loved reading that you hand stitch a few leaves each year. How wonderful to have to look forward to each autumn :)
There's no need to hurry. How wonderful your quilt will look with your free form, embroidered leaves. I love that you pull this quilt out every fall and stitch a few more leaves. Those fall mums look cheery.
What a wonderful fall tradition! You are quite the artist to free-form those leaves! I admired your work on this post. Your quilt is so pretty!
