"Peace" - A Hand Crafted Sampler Quilt, Table Topper, Wall Hanging

Modern day reproduction fabrics highlight my charming 12" x 14" (30.5 x 35.6 cm) traditionally pieced and hand-quilted miniature sampler quilt.

I've pieced twelve classic 2" blocks using beautiful 1860's reproduction fabrics - five blocks with the hand stenciled letters, P E A C E, and seven blocks featuring traditionally pieced patterns.

Each of those 5 letter circles is embroidered with a blanket stitch onto 'plain' blocks using Danish Embroidery Thread.

I hand-quilt the piece and then finish with a double (French), binding by hand to complete a charming historic look.

A nice squared-up piece, 'PEACE' will lie flat and look lovely as a table topper.

If you prefer to have this as a wall piece, on the reverse side you'll find finishing corner hanger-triangles, made in a solid accent fabric.

A sweet reminder any time of the year, perfect at Valentine's Day or a birthday ... perfect for all those times words cannot express the love you feel.
