Stitchery Link Up - Le Jardin Quilt

Today it is time for another stitchery link up over at Super Mom - No Cape! This week, I would like to share with you a project which I stitched over nearly a year.  It is a beautiful quilt for which the embroidery patterns were designed and generously shared by Bronwyn Hayes of Red Brolly Designs.  


Here are some photographs of my finished quilt which I first posted about here. 

The patterns are still available for download on the Red Brolly blog if you are interested in making a quilt yourself. 

Closer photographs of each of my individual blocks, which were originally published by Bronwyn on a month by month basis, can be found here.

 Why not pop across to visit Super Mom - No Cape! and see who else has linked up an embroidery project!

    Oooooh - an all-Tilda quilt!! That quilt represents so much "work" but since you enjoyed it so much it wasn't really work, was it? :) As many stitches as I've seen on your blog, this quilt may be the most beautiful design. I think my favorite block might be the poppy one. No wonder you were pleased with it! Did you leave it button-less? Do you have it displayed in your house?

      Thank you Linda! It was lovely to make and because the blocks were published monthly somehow it didn't ever seem to be a lot of work. I didn't add any buttons to it except in the hearts in the corners of the border. I quilted it quite simply with my walking foot and I sent it to a very special friend who I know will treasure it always. It hangs in her house. It is a favourite make! :) x

    It looks so lovely Christine. I think combining stitcheries and patchwork to make a quilt is my favourite thing to do. Such pretty stitcheries.

    I just love your little quilt and Red Brolly patterns. She is so generous in giving us the free patterns. Embroidery has come back to my life and I really enjoy seeing what everyone else is doing..

    I love Red Brolly's designs and have stitched a few of her free patterns. I clicked through so I could see a close up of each of the blocks and they really are lovely!! No wonder this is one of your favorite quilts.

    Thanks so much for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party and for linking back. Aloha hugs!
