Hello everyone! Yes, it's me again. I know, I know — I keep disappearing and coming back. But what can I say? Life gets busy, but the needle and thread always pull me back eventually! 😄
I wanted to share something special today — my *Tulips N Anemones* quilt. If you've been following this blog from the early days, you might remember when I first shared it — [the centre block](https://jjanovi.blogspot.com/2011/09/tulips-n-anemones.html) that I worked on as a "while waiting" project, and later (piecing it all together).(https://jjanovi.blogspot.com/2012/09/tulips-n-anemones.html)
It's a floral appliqué quilt with a centre bouquet tied with a cascading red bow, surrounded by hearts, tulips, and bell flowers on curling vines. The entire cream background is crosshatch quilted by machine, finished off with a floral print border in warm golds, reds, pinks, and greens.
This quilt taught me patience — more patience than I ever thought I had! But looking at it now, every stitch was worth
And after 15 years, this quilt has finally found its forever home — I gave it away as a *wedding gift*! There's something truly special about giving a handmade quilt to a couple starting their life together. Every stitch carries a blessing, and I hope this quilt will keep them warm for many years to come. The look on their faces when they unfolded it was priceless — that's the best reward any quilter can ask for! 🥰
Until next time — happy stitching! 🧵
