everybody needs a mole


tada! i have once more completed a quilt. so, i now introduce to you Pink Kitten:

 i've been working on this one for about 7 years on and off. i did the piecing by machine and all the embroidery and quilting by hand. its based on a style of quilt popular in the 1920's called a redwork quilt because it only uses the colors red and white. when i started piecing it, i was stupid and forgot to pre-wash my fabrics so it can never be washed or the red squares will bleed into the white, hence the name Pink Kitten. its a wall hanging so it shouldn't get dirty anyhow.
