A few years ago I made a quilt for my daughter's bed and ended up with some leftover fabrics .
This is the quilt ...
Last year I had also made some stitcheries but had no specific project in mind, so they stayed in the UFO box.
So I decided to just make up a small quilt without a pattern and just cutting up squares so that the sticheries would be framed in a pleasing way.
Bit by bit rectangles, squares, flying geese, 2 patch blocks, pinwheel block were joined...
Until the final border was added.
Then I got the top ready for handquilting...
I have tons of embroidery threads which I purchased years ago in South Africa. They are mainly cotton Perle no. 8 and Stranded cotton and the colours are varigated. I just love them and decided to use it for the quilting.
We had a lovely sunny afternoon today so I hung my quilts under the gazebo to show them.
And here it is ...." LOVE IS"
Close ups...
The two quilts together..
There's still fabric left.... hum, what shall I make next ????

Célia,
ReplyDeleteficou belíssimo o bordado com o patchwork. Gosto muito de misturar técnicas, isto enriquece o trabalho. Realmente era um pena estar na caixa de Ufos. Os outros bordados voce pode usar em almofadas para complementar este trabalho.
Beijos
Both quilts are beautiful, love the creativity of "Love Is." So very special, maybe you should make it into a pattern. Hugs
