I showed you my painted flowers back in June.
You can read my previous post here.
My original plan had been to machine quilt this. After Goldie died I needed a hand project and this was already basted and ready to go. I love how it turned out!
Does anybody else use hand work as a distraction from grief, worry or stress?
The finished size is 12" by 12". I used a variety of variegated YLI threads for the stitching. Since my machine doesn't like the YLI, I now only use it for hand work. My hand sewing needle isn't as picky as my machine and didn't complain at all.

It is lovely! What a great combination of painting and hand quilting. Sorry you needed comforting but glad you found something soothing!
Your flowers are lovely. I hope they will remind you of the happy times you shared with Goldie.
Lynn, the hand stitching looks lovely! Many hugs for you.
The answer is yes! I've been doing a lot of that lately. Love your block and how it turned out. Hugs.
Yes! I do find it therapeutic. I gotta tell you, I liked your painted fabric before you quilted it. But after you quilted it, I now think it is absolutely outstanding. Your quilting really makes this, Lynn! Wow. Love it! Still feeling bad for you about Goldie. Have thought of you a lot in the past few weeks.
