I want to share this beautiful quilt with you. My friend, Nancy Smith, gave me permission to share this quilt. She actually made the top, all hand applique, and I quilted it for her. Nancy specializes in hand applique and hand quilting and has made several of Kim McLean's quilts plus many many more.
One of the things that Nancy does on many is choose her own fabrics and colorways and does a beautiful job. She has made Flower Pots, Lollypop Trees, and the Hearts and Flowers quilt and they are all hand quilted.
I hope you enjoy seeing her work. I'll have to check with her and post some of her other finished quilts.
As I was quilting this I realized just how difficult it must have been to make, yet she did a wonderful job! Many pieces and tiny curves, but worth the effort. I'm sorry but I do not have a picture with a full view of the quilt but thought you'd enjoy the close-ups anyway.
This is Nancy Smith's Flower Pots quilt. I love the deep colors she used - they just give it a nice contrast. It is hand-pieced and hand quilted.
And here is Nancy's version of the Roseville Album. It is a smaller quilt minus the inside border blocks.
Here is a close-up.
Last, we have the Hearts and Flowers quilt, beautifully done with many shades of rose, fuchsia and blues. It is amazing how much stitching Nancy gets done but she told me she spends her time stitching and not on the internet.........hmmm, maybe my quilts would come along a little faster if I did the same!! Enjoy and thank you Nancy for sharing your quilts!
