Teddy Darling

I’ve been slowly working away on my Teddy Darling stitchery, which was a pre-printed gifted panel.  Teddy was stitched, the flower garlands were done, and then I big stitch quilted along the blue dashed lines.  Added some simple wavy big stitch quilting in the floral borders and I was almost there.

Quilting in the borders

Binding was next, and I had just enough of a pretty soft pink stripe to do the job.  There, all done.

I’ve so enjoyed all the time I’ve spent “slow stitching” this little treasure.  It’s a small little quilt, only 25 inches square, and the panel was a gift from my quilting penfriend Carol from South Dakota.  Must admit I've had it tucked away quite some time before I finally started stitching it.  And of course, after all my hand work, I’ll be keeping Teddy Darling at home with me, perhaps one day we will welcome a little great grand-child into the family.  Won’t that be wonderful.

"Teddy Darling" is indeed a treasure! You have done a brilliant job with the embroidery; it is so pretty. The floral fabric is colourful and cheery, and perfectly complements Teddy. Yes, this sweet little quilt needs to live with you.

Teddy is adorable, and you did such a magnificent job finishing him. It’s a nice size for a newborn and also for a dolly quilt.

Jackie said...

So pretty. You finished it beautifully.

I have some preprinted squares from my Mom that I should really get done. Perhaps this summer I will sit outside and do the embroidery.

God bless.

Teddy is indeed a darling! He makes me want to get back to my embroidery! I am so influenced when I see things I like. Meanwhile, imagine finding binding in lime green...I would have agreed with you that that would have been quite the feat. Lovely bag and cobblestone blocks, Jenny.
