Ediths House.

                                          Today I've added the applique to Ediths quilt.

     
                                                     Hearts and flowers...........


         I used a dark brown blanket stitch on my sewing machine for the edges.
             Tomorrow I need to add the flower middles...........

                                                          xox, Angela.
