SS Mini Quilts - Winter and Spring

My Sunday Stitchers Group decided we would make Seasonal things (mini quilts etc.) in 2024.

I posted my Autumn one in March.



And I finished my Winter one by the Due Date, but neglected to post about it

So, here is Winter.

Now its Spring (though we had a short burst of summer at the end of Autumn).

My plan at the beginning of the year was to do my house in the different seasons . . .but ...(1) I am a bit bored by the idea now and (2) I seem to be short of time!!!

So, I opted for a machine embroidery design called "Signs of Spring Tree" by Urban Threads.
I found a Quiet Play fabric in white with clouds and raindrops, dyed it with some blue paint and food colouring and added some green for the grass.

I was finished enough...but 
I did run out of time....I plan to add a sun and some more bits to it.

At least I have a good plan in mind for my Summer one.

Back in the day I used to do houses in needlepoint. Fabric can be a challenge because of tiny details but your two really are VERY nice - the texture coming from the fabric choices instead of little stitches. I'm getting one prepped for my granddaughter's BA quilt. Even if you are short of time I'd urge you to eventually finish the seasons.
