The Four Seasons, Around the World



The Four Seasons, the quilt that I made for my mother-in-law, has also reached its destination: here it is hanging on the wall in Zutphen, the Netherlands. Here is a close-up:



I took off most off the beads I showed here, they were too much. I added a few simple beading lines:



And in the end I was reasonably happy with the quilt. I have discovered though that I am not a beading person. I was told that MIL likes the quilt.



And now for something completely different: I have entered another fabric design in the weekly contest at Spoonflower. This week's theme is Travel and this is my design, called Around the World. If you like it, perhaps you could vote for it? Just click here; you don't need to sign in or become a member. Thanks! :-)

Thanks for all the comments! Okay, that was clear - the quilt needs a bit more. So I added it!
Let me say once again for those who skipped that part the first time - the fabric is not dyed by me, but by Lisa Walton from Dyed and Gone to Heaven. I subscribed to her Monthly Metres club for a while, and also to the Beautiful Beads club, so I have plenty of beads! I've never done any beading, but just dived in yesterday and had a lot of fun.
