My Roseville is finished!!!! yippee......

This quilt took me quite awhile, I made many quilts while working steadly on this one.  It's all hand needleturn applique and hand quilted by "little Oh Me"....... Kaffe fabrics except for a few hand dyed fabrics.  I changed the design on the outside border for what I call "the littld hands" I didn't care for those at all.  The background fabric is a white on white cotton. It's Queen Size.  Crosshatch plus around many of the applique pieces.  I am so glad I stuck with it and it's finished!!!!!any questions, just contact me.  Oh yes, taking into account that I traveled a lot and worked full time while making this, I constantly worked on it in the evenings.  From first needle to last stitch, took me 3 yrs 2 months and 18 days....

  13. I am doing the same thing! I am working on mine in the background, have made many other quilts, working, traveling, blah blah... but I keep coming back to this one. I worry by the time I finish it everyone will have deserted this blog! haha. But you've done it, and you've done it masterfully. Your quilting and applique is amazing. I hope you enter this in some competitions or exhibitions. Houston International Quilt Fest has several categories. Go for it! Show it off.

  25. ah thanks everyone....it was so much fun to make....even tho it took me forever to hand quilt it. I think if I had to do it over I would quilt over the applique. I quilted around most of the applique and did Cross Hatch. wow what was I thinking......
