Just finished stitching the binding on my embroidered quilt. This quilt was designed by the San Francisco Stitch Co. The blocks are all embroidered then pieced together and quilted with my embroidery machine. This was a personal challenge for me with all the placement of designs. I am very pleased with it. There are a couple boo boos but I don't think many people will pick up on them unless I point them out. It took me about 2 months from start to finish. Now to come up with a quilt label for it. hugs, Susan

You can, it's just one design after another. You really should give it a try.

25505023282782What a beautiful quilt. I have never tried a scalloped border like that but someday I will be brave enough I hope. I sure hope you enter this in your local quilt show either at the fair or a guild.
Congratulation on a job well done, it is really stunning.

That was my intentions in the beginning, since I made a couple of obvious boo boos on it I don't think I will enter it at the fair. We'll see our county fairs are in March here. Thanks, Susan
19439C'est très beau. La bordure en écaille est très réussie aussi. Bravo.
529Beautiful. "I Dream of Jeanie" is on the TV in the background. Are you sure she didn't help you finish this in only 2 months? Great job!

It really doesn't take that long to do a project like this. There are only 12 blocks, one or 2 a day. Piecing it together another 2 or 3 days. The flying geese border probably took the longest to do. The scalloped border another 3 days. The quilting went very quickly. The more you do the more you want to do. The progress is motivational. Go for it Cuties you'll be glad you did. Hugs, Susan

45918Truly beautiful. Great choice in piecing and color selections. I love the scalloped edge and the binding. With all the work you have in it, I'm surprised you accomplished it in two months. Truly, truly wonderful.

46645It looks beautiful, well done. The only thing I can say is wrong is that you said it doesn't have a label yet...lol But I know you are working on that part. I love the edge on this & they way the flowers curve with the edge too. It sure would have taken me longer than 2 months to complete it...

251697854Gorgeous quilt! I love your scalloped border, the binding is not the easiest thing to get right and yours looks flawless.
145304Gorgeous!!! Don't you dare show boo boos! I think it's perfect.
158716Dear Susan, you have every right to be pleased with this stunning quilt. I love everything about it and if you don't tell anyone there are boo boos in there, they won't know. Well done on achieving a personal challenge. I'm doing a cot quilt at the moment which will have scalloped edging but Amy doesn't want any embroidery on it, she only wants fabrics. Love Chris
P.S. I love I dream of Jeannie too!

57675Susan, this is so nice, just beautiful. I love the colors of the fabrics, the flower borders and esp. the little blue bird and nest. What size hoop field do you use for this? Also, is this crib size/wall hanging? You have done an excellent job.-Toogie

Yes, it is crib size. The scalloped flowers and some of the quilting required a 5 x 7 hoop. I think the blocks were all 4 x 4 hoopings. Thank you my favorite block is the basket of tulips. hugs, Susan
109780What a Awesome Quilt...Love it...Great work well done!!!!
6602310973Beauiful quilt, all things looks perfect to me, if there any mistakes I think only you can find they. All matches together, the colors, the quilting, fabolous.
26010What a great way to use ME on a quilt! This is the best quilt I've seen combining both. It would have taken me 2 years! So, I am very impressed with how quickly you finished it. Can you share what kind of fabric/stabilizers you used to achieve such great results?

I used one layer of tearaway stabilizer for the blocks. For the quilting I just hooped the 3 quilt layers. I thought the quilting would take a lot longer than it did. I did all the quilting in 3 days. hugs, Susan
33641One of the PRETTIEST quilts I have ever seen... Beautiful Job! I sure wish I had half the talent you Cuties on here have... ***FLOWERS***
