My Lilies from Ellen


When I was on the East coast the week before Easter, my husband called and said I had a package with beautiful flowers painted on the outside that was from San Diego.  I asked him to open it and tell me what was inside.  As he was describing it, along with the other goodies in the box, I thought I could imagine it, but when he sent me the photo, I was stunned.  Then, when I got home, I was even more excited.  This quilt has embroidery, beads, and blanket stitch around the binding with beads added for further texture.  The embroidery is incredible, but I couldn't get a good photo of it.  This photo does not do this work of art justice.  I love it, Ellen.  Thank you so much.

I love how the sky is so many subtle shades of blue. It adds so much depth to the background.
