A blooming crazy quilt

A while back I mentioned the adorable seed-bead flower vine on a crazy quilt by Kathleen of Yesteryear Embroideries. The quilt is finished now, and it includes dozens of wonderful techniques, including to-die-for seed-bead blackberries. And I was surprised and delighted to discover that the focal piece of the quilt is a cross-stitch rendering of one of my favorite sayings: “Bloom where you are planted.” Sweet!  See lots of detail photos at Kathleen’s blog post.

Many thanks to Sharon from Pin Tangle for pointing out this post.
