Merrimack Bedspread.jpg

Finished the bedspread.  I of course needed a George and Martha Washington spread!  I found the main pattern for the spread on a blog post by Emily (fov).  My bedspread is a combination of the Sara Pittman coverlet from June Grigg’s pamphlet, “More Charted Designs for Miniatures,” and the Floral bedspread from  Needlework Designs for Miniature Projects: 64 Charts for Counted Cross by Eileen Folk.  It is worked on 36-count Evenweave.  It didn’t take nearly as long as a rug (1 ½ months vs. 4 months), but I thought I would go blind working white-on-white!  Ripping out the occasional mistake was especially painful.
