| Gabriele Bach: Krokus - Liebe zum Fruehlingsgarten |
Love is a very difficult
theme and I spent a lot of time thinking about it. But when I saw my little
garden in the sunshine, it was clear for me, what I wanted to show in my quilt.
I love my garden, especially in the early spring when it is full of crocuses
and snowdrops. The crocus is a wild sort and they become every year more.
For my quilt I had the idea
to show the flower with a wide border. I admire often the hand embroidery in
other quilts and this time I wanted to use seed stitch to present the wealth of
crocus blossoms in my garden. I have self- dyed embroidery yarn, which waits to
be used.
Every year again I admire the crocuses in my garden and I am very happy that I made at least a quilt with
the crocuses.

I used mostly self-dyed cotton
and embroidery yarn, pieced and quilted with the machine and made the
embroidery by hand.
