What fun, Wendy! Love your fabric choices!!

Nancy

Love the wonkiness, Wendy and especially the color combos--the orange really pops there contraposed to the purple/fuchsia. I love embroidering French knots too and colonial knots too!

My effort so far, bit wonky in places



I can't wait to start on the french knots. I love french knots and colonial knots

Snickering here!! Hugs....

OK--Something else I learned doing this project: I don't like to follow directions and I am impatient. Hmmmm, bet you already knew that about me. Never mind. I will be posting a picture soon and it will be done.

Looking great everybody. There are lots more in the show and tell too. And they are all looking terrific. Glad you are coming out to play too Charae.

I had just couched down the twisted yarn with MonoPoly, and just left that in the machine for all of my quilting.

Like Nancy, I would love to play with some silk thread too! Nancy, your grass looks great!!

Hi Lois -

I used Superior SoFine #50 for quilting on the silk. I wanted a light-weight thread and I think that worked well. When I do my wholecloth with this fabric (some years down the road....), I'll probably use a #100 weight silk just because I love the really fine thread.

Thanks everyone I cut out the letters separatly and then laid them out on a silicone mat so that they were touching and pressed it came out really well.
I'm a bit slow to catch up but I'll get there eventually.

I am liking all that I see. I will be sitting by the window looking for the mailman! What thread did you (Nancy & Margo) use to quilt the silk? Charae, good to know I have a last minute buddy!

Know what you mean Nancy, I itch to stitch in the ditch as well but won't because I'm trying to do things differently. I love your leaves against the brown they are so cheerful.

I can't find my other leaf and bits I think the cat must have run off with them I stuck my ribbon down for stitching and turned round and she was sat on my quilt with it dangling from her mouth. Cat free to good home

I just got this week's lesson finished:

I also added some SID work that wasn't specified, but I really like to have all of my applique stitched around. If I were to do this again, I would probably do a few things in a different order to make the quilting come out differently, but I'm loving it. Can't wait for next week!

Hi Margo -

I love what you did with your stems! Like you, I used a different fancy stitch on my sewing machine for the heart stem. Yours looks better, but I'm still pleased with mine. I'll post pictures once I finish the last of the quilting.

I love the quilting that you did on the silk. I have some Radiance that I picked up a while ago from a sale at my LQS that I've been saving for a wholecloth. I can't wait to do that because the quilting on this little bit was so luscious!
