Quilter Bonnie surprised herself by hand embroidering all nine of these squares! Her original plan was to just do one or two, but she kept on going here and there and did all of them!!!
Quilt Info:
Size: 53" x 59"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton
Thread: Glide--Putty
Pantograph: Christmas ⤵️ from Dastardly Quilt Studio
The embroidery doesn't really show up in the whole quilt photos, so here are the nine embroidered blocks:
As you can see, I simply quilted right over the embroidery, using a thread to match the muslin background. An embroidered quilt doesn't have to be custom quilted.
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

Great work on the embroidery Bonnie, I love that kind of stitching. And Nancy of course you made the quilt all come together with your quilting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt, and I love her embroidery! I'm so glad to see you quilted over the embroidery. On my little pillow, I was "afraid" to do that, now I wish I had because it looks great. I'll remember to do it next time!
ReplyDeleteThose are such sweet embroidered designs, and I love how Quilter Bonnie set them in the quilt! Your quilting always adds so much to the finish, too. Way to go, quilting sisters!
ReplyDeleteBe still my heart! This is a gorgeous Christmas quilt. I loved seeing all of the beautiful embroidered motifs. The angel grabbed my heart- well they all did. Fabulous job to Bonnie and to you, Nancy. Your quilting is always so beautiful. Enjoy your day. Hugs.

This is a delightful Christmas quilt.
ReplyDeleteWell done Bonnie for completing all the embroideries.
The Christmas quilting pattern you have used is gorgeous, too.
Thank you for your beautiful "Christmas" quilting. It's the perfect completion to this quilt! Thank you for all your help and encouragement too!
ReplyDeleteBonnie did a great job, hand work can be addicting, LOL! You finished this beautifully Nancy, that stitch pattern is perfect for this quilt. Bonnie will enjoy displaying this one for years to come!
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of Christmas pantograph. xo
ReplyDeleteCute embroideries! Well done to you two ;) Precious little blocks, and I love this Christmas quilting pattern. Thank you for sharing this great finish, and linking up!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. You did a nice job with the quilting, Nancy. Do you enjoy embroidery yourself? I do, though I can be moody about it. Back in 2011-2012, I embroidered 26 snowman blocks to make the "Snowmen A to Zzzz" quilt by Crabapple Hill Designs. That was my last big embroidery project!
ReplyDeleteThat hand stitching is lovely! Great job, Bonnie! Love that quilting motif!
ReplyDeleteGreat job by both of you. I like to do that same type of embroidery but I haven't made up the last one so I'm holding off doing more.
ReplyDeleteThat will be a quilt to be cherished for the holidays forever. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt, Nancy. Bonnie did a great job and your quilting really adds to it! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
