Sherri's Holly Hobbie Quilt

My friend's Holly Hobbie quilt is all done.  Her aunt embroidered the center piece as a picture for her when she was a little girl, back in the early 70s.  She made it for her aunt's brand-new very first great-granddaughter.

I think you can hardly see where I stopped for the embroidery, outlined it, and filled in a few areas; I’m pleased about that.  I used 50-weight off-white So Fine thread on top, and 40-weight lavender/pink variegated Rainbows thread in the bobbin. Both threads are by Superior.  The pantograph is 'Nemesh Feather Grande', by Bethanne Nemesh.

The quilt measures 46" x 49".
