Jaggy Thistle won a rosette! :o)

I wasn't able to get to the Scottish Quilt Championships at Ingliston last weekend so I asked another member of the BQL if she would take a picture for me if she spotted it. As you can see she found it and it had a rosette! I was a bit disappointed to see that the description seems to have been pinned on so that the motto "Wha daur meddle wi' me?"was obscured somewhat. :o(

I had never been in correspondence with Claire prior to this and knew nothing about her. Imagine the surprise when it transpired that her husband's ancestors used to live in the house that we now live in!!!
I wonder what the odds are of something like that happening?

Jaggy Thistle

This was the start-----



Nearly there now---------


It is very closely quilted so has taken a lot of time!

I thought it would be the first quilt that doesn't have any beads but think I will be tempted to put 6 on for the ends of the butterflies' antennae. Maybe I will embroider them just to show I can.
Also am debating about including a bumblebee?
This one is due to go to Scotland----where else? :o)
