The sky has been quilted on Weeds N Tweeds. The thread used for sky was variegated shades of gray. Perfect! And so was the small clamshell stencil used for the quilting!
I've rolled since the photos were taken and now I'm working on the outside borders.
This heart was the last block to be embroidered for Miss Jane. Sorry it's blurry.
I think I had said several weeks ago that the little squares finish at 3", that is incorrect. I've trimmed them to 3", they'll finish at 2-1/2".
This is going to be a small quilt. It's a nice change for the larger quilts I normally make.

ReplyDeleteThe quilting is just perfect for sky, and what a pretty quilt that is. Your embroideries are so tiny! It will make a lovely little piece, though. People will have to get close to see it's beauty.
