Grandmother's Garden..

If you are like Kathy and enjoy working by hand..you might like to try this tradition quilt...A Grandmother's Garden quilt is a work of art and a precious and treasured possession. These quilts are quite rare because of the time and hand sewing it takes to create them. Constructed entirely from small hand-pieced hexagons,this form of patchwork,sometimes called English patchwork, might be time-consuming but it allows you to take your work with you..The hexagons form the patchwork 'flowers'.. As you can see it might be worth the effort to own such a beauty....She added buttons for flower heads along with some hand embroidery and the button hole stitch on the outer edge... The piece measures 12 1/2" by 15 1/2" the hexagons are very tiny... they are 3/8"...Kathy this is awesome...
