"Iris Garden"

"Iris Garden" - This kit was given to me from my mother in the late 60's. I did the cross stitch on it over a 33 year period and when I wanted to start making quilts I finished this project first. I ran out of thread and searched for the Peri-Lusta on internet but was unable to purchase it. Fortunately I was able to match the colors perfectly with DMC. I'm not really fond of cross stitch but it is a treasure to me knowing how many years and hours I worked on it while raising our five children. There are many irises quilted in which makes it even more beautiful.

Hello Connie!

Your quilt is beautiful. I have the same quilt which was started by my mother years ago, only in shades of purple. She has since passed and I would like to finish the quilt. However, I have lost the instructions. Is there a chance that you still have the instructions? Would it be possible to get a copy from you? Thanks for your time.
Alicia
