Woorde Kan Diep Nesskop - Words Nestle Deeply

During lockdown a robin left a nest in my garden. This, as well as a whole lot of previously used and embroidered tray cloths and doilies were gifted to me, when my dear friend David Moon passed away.

Previously used fabrics, like my daughter Margot's curtains, hand stitched words and letters, done with cross stitch, as well as hand quilting for the background quilt was the ground for appliqued tray cloths.

Machine embroidered hands, holding stitched letters and hand stitched nest all formed the inspiration for this quilt design.
