Let's Go to Grandma's by Colleen Earnshaw (Utah), quilted by Cindy Williams
The quilt pattern is "Over the River and Through the Woods" by Meg Hawkey at Crabapple Hill Studio (also available at Amazon).
Colleen explains, "My grandkids love to come to Park City, Utah, to play in the mountains and visit. I wanted to reflect the kind of fun we have while playing together. I ways want it to be fun to go to Grandma's !"
In this close-up, you can see Colleen's incredibly precise embroidery, depicting the snow-covered trees and the little sleigh as it carries its passengers along.
Colleen's "flying geese" border done in contemporary fabrics works perfectly with the traditional embroidery motif on a light taupe background. This is a wonderful juxtaposition of modern and traditional design elements.

What a gorgeous quilt! Happy Thanksgiving☺
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you both!
ReplyDeleteI was just singing this song for my granddaughters the other day . . . they don't sing it in school every year like we used to do. So I had to teach it to them. This quilt is delightful and a very special thing to bring into the home this time of the the year. Thanksgiving is all about family gatherings and all that we have to be thankful for . . . we are so blessed:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
Connie :)
