I’ve got a couple of commissions in the works, and I decided that while I’m piecing like a mad man, I should have the embroidery machine running in the background. This is an Anita Goodesign called Indigo Quilt. While the design had specific instructions, I decided to go off the book and just make this quilt with scraps of denim and blue and black fabric, and then a red fabric for the sashing. It’s going to be gorgeous! With me luck!
I finally got this cute kid’s quilt done! I had the top sitting their forever and thought, it might be time to get cracking. I went for a random look with the blocks, and then decided on a simple lime green back, as well as lime green binding. I think it is just so cute. I’m not sure who to give it to though. I think it might end up on the bed in my guest room. It’s 84″ by 84″, so it’s like a mini-queen. Wish me luck!
I made a gorgeous pillow. I even used piping! That was a new experience for me, but I think it turned out well! Maybe I should do a tutorial on piping? It’s kind of confusing if you’ve never done it before. Anyways, I embroidered this pillow. It’s an Anita Goodesign from February. I think it turned out very well!
I’ve been working on these for a sample quilt for work. Since I can’t do much sewing because of the pain in my neck from the Bell’s Palsy, I’ve been doing some embroidery. I think these are just the cutest! I’ve done a couple on purple and yellow flannel, and it’s just as cute! I’ll be posting picture later this week.
I’ve been trying to put that embroidery machine to good use. This is the latest project I am teaching class on at the shop. I still have a couple of blocks to go, and then I still have to figure out the border… Thinking maybe an embroidered stippled block… not sure yet, but I’m working on it! With me luck!
I finally got around to finishing this gorgeous quilt! It is my first embroidery quilt, so I was nervous about how it would turn out. I actually thought it would be kind of bland, but it ended up so cute! I think the fabric choices I made turned out great! Now I have to get working on a Bargello, so I’ll be back later! Kisses!
It took me a while to figure out what I was going to do with it, but now that I have, I’m really excited to quilt it. I have a few other priority project going on at the moment, but this just might jump the queue a bit. It is just so much better than I thought it would be! Not sure how to quilt it though. Any suggestions?
It’s coming along quite nicely! I’m very excited to put the sashing in, and now to just pick a border!
Okay, so while rummaging through the embroidery designs at work, I found this gem! I’ve been in a fall mood with the rustic leaves, and then I found this other design. I just had to make a quilt! So, I was thinking since it is on point I would do 3 blocks by 3 blocks, and put in some fun fall batiks on the off spaces and the border. What do you all think?
I’ve playing around with the embroidery machines at work. I’ve also become obsessed with tea towels. So what we have here is a lot of tea towel embroidery! I’m getting my house ready for fall, so this Rustic Leaves collection is just perfect! What do you sewists think?
