A Little Taste of Mexico
A few years ago, one of my dearest friends travelled extensively through Mexico. During one of her stops, she came across a collection of these beautiful pieces of hand embroidered art. She brought them home with her and then generously gave me half of her collection to make a quilt with. I spent a lot of time making this quilt because I wanted it to be just right. Each fabric had to audition and I made more changes than I have ever made in a quilt just so that it would all be perfect.
I hope you enjoy looking at this one🙂

That is a wonderful way to use the pieces. You have matched the colours so well in this quilt. It looks great.
Your fabric shows off the embroidery perfectly! I visit Santa Fe often, and this type of embroidery and coloration is seen all over the city. Even the painted windows at La Fonda Hotel look like this!
This is just gorgeous! I love the fun boarders. Fantastic finish!
Beautiful!

Thank you Chantal! I really love those hand made pieces – they’re so beautiful in person. I would have loved to meet the women who made them! They are really talented.
I agree with you, the embroidery tension seems perfect, they really master their art.
