Hi on Friday! Nearly the weekend again!
'Cindy' - My Romantic Home is hosting 'Show and Tell Friday' again! I have taken part before showcasing 'My Stork'. Today I want to showcase my 'Millennium Friendship Quilt'.
My 'Millennium Friendship Quilt' was made back in the year 2000 when we all celebrated the Millennium. Flickr photos is rather like having loads and loads of Penfriends 'don't you agree?'. Years ago we tended to 'snail mail' more I think although I know I did use the internet as well. I had an idea to make something special for the Millennium and I came up with the idea of asking all my Penfriends if they wanted to join me in making a quilt.
I asked all my Penfriends to send me pieces of cross stitch measuring 6" x 4" with a cross stitch design sewn on. I was amazed at the variety of designs that came in and everyone came up with something different. This ranged from piggies (my favourite), to country themes etc., I just loved waiting for the postman to come to the door.
When I had received all the pieces I started the task of sewing them altogether. When I had finished sewing them together I backed with wadding and then attached white satin ribbon and white buttons to seperate the pieces.
Everyone put their names on and where they lived and it was a great honour to think that they all wanted to take part.
This now adorns my home and I think the world of it. I would like you all to see the quilt in 'Show andTell Friday'. hosted by Romantic Homes. http://www.romantichome.blogspot.com/
