Slow Stitching - three more floral squares for my quilt


 I have managed a few more floral embroideries for my pink and green quilt.  It has been very pleasant to come up with new stitches and give them a try.  I think I will be going back and adding some extra stitches in the middle of the long stitches in the leaves on the one on the right.  It would  not be fun to have those be snagged somewhere.  I hope this quilt will be around for a good long while.  I am almost one third done my squares.  My sister, Stella, was here last weekend and as a quilter she consulted on my project so I have taken her advice and will try raw edge quilting on another quilt before I use it in the construction of this pink and green one in which will also include some of my Mom's embroidered roses which are special to me.  I will be including some lace which she also made for the tablecloth she gave me with the roses!!  She gave some input on the construction of my squares which I will incorporate.  She is a much more prolific quilter than I am.  She has been making quilt tops for Victoria Quilts.  This organization donates quilts to cancer patients all across Canada.  

I am joining the gang at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching!!!  
I encourage you to come along and check out the great projects that are being shared there.  
Always lots of inspiration!! Therese
