Sujata's Basket

I spent the weekend hand-quilting this. I'm very pleased with the result. Sujata had sent the basket block, along with a scrap exchange last year.



I love using #8 perle cotton and a sashiko needle. Thank you, Sujata!!

    LeeAnn,
    Your quilt looks so charming with all those stitches! I love all those churn dash blocks dancing around the basket.

    This is so sweet! I don't think of using hand stitching, think I need to though! It's the perfect finish.

    Oh, how great! I'm thinking about making a quilt with this monkey wrench, and here I come across your blog--and you have me beat before I make the first fabric cut--

    IT has been awhile since I did that sort of stitching, and I LOVE IT...it is a great reminder of how neat that looks. AND to get back to basics of Scrappy look quilts..LOVE THEM. NEAT quilt!
