This is the quilt I have been working on for the last 2 or 3 years. It is made up of little samples I made as experiments and some blocks with nothing in particular. All the blocks are hand dyed by me and then combined by overlapping the edges and hand embroidering over those joints. My thought is to have a professionally quilted by a long-arm machine. Without batting and backing, it already weighs at least 10 lbs. There is no way for me to quilt this on my home sewing machine, especially when my cat is riding on the quilt.

Hi Debora, I'm fascinated with your designs! I've never done needle felting but your sheep have me determined to try!
