Quilt for my Son

 

I stitched 26 alphabet blocks designed by Prairie Schooler, from mid Apr 2022 to Nov 22/2022, and I needed 4 more blocks to make a 5X6 pattern to make into a quilt, so I chose the four seasons. After I completed these blocks, it took a while to find a good quilter who could quilt for me. In Jan/2024, finally I found a quilter, Jane Cramer, who did a perfect job.I’m so pleased with the final result…

Special gift for my birthday back in 2006

I received a surprise gift from my cross-stitch internet friends in Korea whom I've never met in-person before. We all became friends over the internet. I was a member of a Korean cross-stitch blog "For Stitch". We all shared our project such as WIP, completed and planned. We all commented on each other's work to support. We've enjoyed doing secret cross-stitch surprises for other members in the group. For example, we've stitched one block each and made a nice bed cover. We've also surprised members expecting new babies, twin babies, and members with health problems, etc. When I turned 60 years old, approximately 30 members joined and made dozens needle rolls, pillow, card and a beautiful 20 flower(with my name, HELEN) block-stitched bed cover. I was so touched. Unfortunately, this internet cross-stitch group hasn't been so active like before. It is bit sad.
