One of my goals for the Quarter 3 Finish-A-Long, which I stated here was to embroider 3 of the redwork nursery rhyme blocks. I started these a long time ago, got 9 blocks of this 20 BOM done. When my dear SIL was here for a visit recently, I asked her if she would like to make them up for her first granddaughter and she was excited, and said she could put the sashing on and tie the quilt,. The story behind this redwork quilt was that a 10-year-old girl named Helen Wells produced this redwork children's quilt in 1910 using her favorite nursery rhymes and storybook characters. This week I have finished the Three Blind Mice block, and Mother Goose block. Just 1 more block to meet #1 goal on my list for the Finish-A-Long
I'm linking up with Kathy for Slow Sunday Stitching.

The redwork is gorgeous! I looked up the pattern and fell in love. I'm going to wait before I buy it to ensure it is "real love" and not a "crush"! :) Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour redwork embroidery is lovely, how nice your Sister in Law will help with the construction of the quilt.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will straighten out Blogger comments s coming to me again
ReplyDeleteThose are two wonderful blocks. All I can say is that little girl had a lot more talent at ten than I've ever had at any time! I'm looking forward to them. Thanks for having all the links on your blog post again, since I'd gotten through Moira's on Sunday and then forgot today! You know, if you ever get rid of the Oceans blog, I'm up a creek, because I go there and click on the link to here. I can't seem to keep this blog name in my head. LOL
