This is the "Latte Quilt". I added a few other designs as well. I had great fun using different decorative inbuilt stitches on my machine. The thing I am most proud of with this quilt is that it was done in small sections on a 4X4 hoop. It is for a double bed. It took me a year to make. In hindsight though, I would have chosen another colour. I gave it to my mother and she loves it.

Thank you. I would have chosen a cotton fabric rather than silk and I would have used earth tones. The satiny shiny material is not really me - hence my mom has the quilt. Everyone has their own taste. I used the "wrong" side of the fabric for the blocks and the "right" side for the sashings.
145302This is lovely - I have a friend in NC - going to classes - once a month - to learn this techique and quilt - she has the CD - but not the knowledge of quilting - but she is learning - you did a great job - what colors would you pick - if you were to stitch another?

Thanks Shirlene. Please tell your friend to hang in there. This was my first embroidered quilt and hence my "learning" quilt. I had also never stippled before attempting this quilt. What colour has your friend chosen? I would choose more earthy tones - maybe a pink, but a brownish "mushroom" pink. I have done 3 embroidered quilts and they have all been pink! I have moved house and all the walls and carpets are ... pink! It is just too much.

Please give it a go. It really is not that difficult. I am sure you will master it in no time.

Thanks Sally. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that it was not finished at the time. I have it lying on the floor on the batting and a few pins are visible. I just quilted around the blocks of the quilt.
24342Well, I think it's terrific!! A whole year is a long time, why so long? Is it that hard to do or do you work a job also?? As for the color I like it. Why is it called a Latte quilt?? Did you get all the designs on this site? Are you a member? I haven't joined as yet so I'm very curious... Cathy

I worked on it as well as other things on the side. It is not hard to to - just fiddly because of the 4X4 hoop. The quilt is by Bernina Australia and Kerrie Hay. It was originally done in cofee colours - hence the name "Latte". I did work at the time as a casual school teacher, so I did not work every day.
13WOW it is beautiful and your Mother is a lucky woman to get this from you. **4U
