This “old fashioned” pattern-“Alphabet Sue ” is my favorite because Sue has quite a busy life. The downside is that embroidering each square is very time consuming.  But.. when I finished this quilt I did it again in blue. I also did her in applique , as “Sue through the year”.

Isn’t she cute? Gracie is a rescue cat who made it to Jim Lewis (my son) who gave her a forever home . She sort of rules the computer room.

Hand quilted, approximately 75 inches by 75 inches. Due to my poor camera skills, my effort to show my fine stitches wasn’t successful. This pattern can be special ordered using your preferences regarding size and color.

Quilts are forever loved. An adult will still remember how gramma lovingly chose the fabric with your favorites in mind. She probably  stayed up late many times sewing  and adding just one more row of stitches. That much loved quilt kept you warm, let you cry into it when your feelings were hurt, decorated your room  and was a comfort when life didn’t seem to be fair. A quilt is much more than a cover!
