Oh my, has it been six weeks since I've had a blog post? Well, this is worth the wait. Kim made this amazing Homegrown Quilt.
Sue Spargo's design - the book will be out shortly, it's going to be dosey! I think I have pictures of all the houses. The detail on each is out of this world. There's really not much I could do for quilting, just pushing that background away and giving a little texture so those wonderful houses could shine. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed working on this, I've never seen anything like it before. I know, I'm gushing!!! If you could see me, there would be little heart eyed emojis coming from my head! But hey, this is a quilt to gush over. Two layers of batting, one 80/20 the other wool. I used Wonderfil 80 wt thread, I didn't want anything to compete with her incredible hand work. With that I'll leave with some incredible pictures. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteHow FUN!! I bought some of those heavier weight hand stitching threads from the Wonderfil booth at Paducah Quilt Week, along with Sue Spargo's book full of hand stitching, but haven't played with any of them yet. Your quilting complements your customer's hand stitching beautifully without overpowering -- fabulous collaboration between the two of you!
