Thank you all for all your positive comments. I am now inspired to begin hand stitching on a fused cot quilt for my first grandchild. I shall post pictures when it is completed!

It would be so much fun to meet you...my husband and I are traveling to France this coming April. We will fly into Charles de Gualle and then drive to southern France - to the Provence area.

Just beautiful! I love the way you "moved" your stitchings! And, the colors are scrumptious, as well! Very, very inspirational for me. Thank you so much for sharing!

It is a really wonderful work! I am always lasy to add hand stiches, but they actually make the work complete :-)
