Enchanted Quilting 885 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 If only I like to embroider!! Love the look you gave this quilt..well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RitaR 647 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 vicki, nice compliments are well deserved. It is pretty and I love the hand embroidery, was that your work too? I didn't fully understand if it is a quilt you made for Melanie, or the quilter on her quilt.. either way, it is beautiful, and your work goes right along with it.

susanramey 15 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Beautiful quilting. I have one coming up to quilt soon-so thanks for the great ideas! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quiltedsunflower 115 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I have an embroidered one coming up soon and I haven't done one before. Do you stitch close to the stitching similar to stitch in the ditch? If not, what's the best technique? My customer does beautiful embroidery and I want to do a good job for her.

LibbyG 1,020 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Vicki, I like the little touches you put on a quilt, the work around the bird's mouth, the spider web, etc. It really captures your attention. Beautiful work as usual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Primitive1 802 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks again! Rita, Melanie is my customer, she does a lot of wonderful quilts and I quilt most of them for her. In fact I am hearing that we won honorable mention at hampton roads for the fall quilt, still waiting to see pictures on that…. I am so fortunate to have her for a long time customer and she continues to mail quilts to me since I have moved to TX. I usually identify each quilt with the # of the quilt on my flckr acct but was downloading from another computer and did not have the # so I used her name…. Quiltedsunflower - I always use clear non-shiny mono poly and usually outline most of the embroidery to give it definition. I use so fine to match the background to fill in the other details. The only reason I don't use so fine on the entire quilt is that the clear is so forgiving if I should accidentally sew over an embroidery stitch and I can sneak over stitches sometimes to get to other areas to outline. I used glide in a gold color to do the pieced blocks. Also used fil-tec bobbins on the whole thing - such nice tension. When I switch from the regular thread to mono I usually spin the tension one turn looser and then go back one turn tighter when I go back again. No tension problems at all! I love quilting these types of quilts because it gives you so much room to play with fun little ideas and fortunately my customer gives me the freedom to let me do whatever I want when I quilt for her.
