Embroidered Bears by Michael

Technically, I gues that Michael did make this quilt, but he did rescue it.

This is an old quilt top, I don't know what era,  but I'm glad he bought it to save it.  It arrived to him tied with yarn, and in need of some love.  Michael took it all apart, and started to tie it again, but then brought it to me.  You can see in the photo below that the quilt top is quite faded with the darker spots being where the original yarn ties were placed.

After quilting, pretty loosely.

Michael asked for a "Bee" meander in the pink, with a few flowers thrown in.  I opted for bees and flowers in the pink, and just flowers in the green sections.  SID around all the embroidery blocks, but no stitching on those.  

Two different colors of thread, to match the fabric, but that's a much better choice in this quilt as well.  One of those were you could feel the person who had pieced and embroidered this quilt sending me their approval as I worked on it.
