Tammy V. Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 When a gal brought me this, I cringed! It had been stored for years and had big water stains on it. This was a huge embroidered top made by a family member who had passed away. Surprisingly the water stains didn't even show when I was done! Boy, was this a challenge!

Tammy V. Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Well thank-you all. No I don't have a computer on my machine. I just quilted as I went along, a lot of micro stippling and I used one of my acrylic circles, a wonderful investment when I was starting out.

Gator Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Amazing!!!! I can imagine how excited the owner was to receive the quilt. Was it a tablecloth prior to quilting? I've seen vintage tablecloths made into quilts and everyone is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
