Stories from the Fandom in Stitches Community: Jo M

My Harry Potter quilt that I so enjoyed doing!! In fact I think I made 4 and bequeathed them to cousins and one I made for a church raffle!

The picture of Harry was my first attempt at stitch painting! I still have that one,never could part with it.

Editor's Note: The stitch painting is Jo's work and is not available on Fandom in Stitches.
