Slow and steady wins the race. I can take Sitting Pretty off of my UFO list. Hooray!
Sweetness isn’t normally something I would want to make, so it must be the floral theme of the design that attracted me to it.
In any case, I enjoyed working the hand embroidery, and the wall hanging turned out cute.
A few close ups:
Hmmmm.
As I upload these photos, I see that I forgot to add a few button embellishments. I’ll take care of that soon.

What began as a class lesson on perspective has finished as Moses and Pharaoh’s Daughter. Most of us are familiar with the biblical story of Moses’ birth from Exodus Chapter 2: 1-10.
Had I known that the background was to become the setting for Moses, I would’ve chosen shades and tints of alabaster to create it (seems more Egyptian to me). But I had no end result in mind, and the background sat around for longer than I care to admit.
No matter that the details are not accurate. I’m an artist, right? I can take certain liberties. What’s important is that when one looks at this quilt, one can see the story.
So here it is:

It has been a long time since I worked on this wall hanging. Some of you will recognize this. Some of you probably thought that I ditched the thing!
It depicts Pharoah’s daughter and baby Moses, inspired by the Biblical account in Exodus Chapter 2.
I am thread painting the applique. In other words, I’ve lowered the feed dogs on my sewing machine and I am adding detail with thread.
