I spent the day working on the Tree Quilt with my mom. We’ve been working on it since January (each on our own quilt) and I realized I should have taken pictures before now as it was in progress, but better late than never.
The quilt has a block for each month — each a different tree at different points through the seasons. The middle is an even bigger jacked-up tree that can’t make up its mind what season it is. It’s supposed to represent winter, spring, summer and fall, but I refuse to put winter on my big tree cause I think it makes it look 1/2 dead.
Here’s a photo of one of the blocks: October (not mine)

The corners are pieced crazy quilt triangles and the center is applique. Essentially I’m doing the entire thing by hand, except some of the applique is fused and then I stitched it down with my machine. Most of it I’m embroidering by hand though.
(and the crazy quilting is all by hand!)
Since I’m too tired from all the quilting I did today, photos will have to wait until tomorrow, or perhaps the next day, since tomorrow my sister is coming over to visit. At least if I post this with the promise of pictures to come, they will one day appear.
Once again, not mine:
