Cardinals for Sister JD

A very dear friend has devoted 60+ years to serving God as a Nun. She is retired now but still works with those in need. She is a real "prayer warrior" and such an amazing human being. She absolutely loves cardinals, so I had the twelve blocks machine embroidered by a very sweet lady. She even made a 13th block for a pillow. I used a very textured white minkey on the back. the quilting is simple stipple around the birds, feathers in the border and a simple loop in the little sashing blocks with white thread. We will be traveling back east this summer to give it to her in person. I just added a new photo of Sr. JD with her new quilt.
