Sally created this wonderful witch themed quilt that is a combination of hand embroidery, colouring and pieced blocks. The pattern is called Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage by Crab-Apple Hill Designs. There is so much detail in the embroidery designs that I keep seeing new things each time I look at it!
Sally asked for simple custom quilting with minimal quilting on the embroidery so I just SID the main elements in the designs. I added a meander in the background and treated the blocks on the outer edge like a border and quilted those blocks individually. But the blocks in the center of the quilt I treated as background and meandered over to define that area. I wanted the focus to be the embroidery work not the pieced blocks.
I used 100wt Microquilter off white thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.
I think that pointy toed boot is my favorite image! So much detail in everywhere you look on this quilt!
Absolutely love this quilt. A wonderful job by both of you.

ReplyDeleteThose birds above the witch's hat, my pick, but everywhere I look there is delight. Love your stitching choice, it enhances the whole quilt.
