Finished again

Thanks to Chooky for making this project of Annie Downs made known to us. What a lovely 11 months I have had watching others at work and sewing my and Andrea's stitchery.

The stippling was done by "the quilt lady in Cobden" I had the borders stippled and she stitched in the ditch around each block of handwork. I really enjoyed this project and loved doing them even the house. Margaret
