Design Source - Description | Many years ago, I was given a box of antique ladies hankerchiefs, I didn't know what to do with them. Then in 1990 I saw this quilt in a magazine. It took me 2 years to complete, b/c I hand quilted it on a frame. I also hand embroidered the heads and antennae of each butterfly. The butterflys were machine appliqued on the blocks. I was a novice, but it turned out great, I love it. |
