They’re here! — The Three Witches: This is the larger version of the smaller quilt I showed back in July HERE. Based on the three witches from Shakespeare’s play, “Macbeth”, this larger version features lots more embroidery with more coloring. It features each witch individually, and also the group together.

Earlier this year, I was invited by Sew Sweet Quilt Shop to design the Block-of-the-Month quilt that they would use for their Saturday Sampler Club, which begins annually in September.
