February Finishes #04: Embroidery 101 Quilt

Hi Everyone!

At last I've accomplished my goal to finish up this quilt... the Embroidery 101. I started this quilt in 2011 as part of a Quilt Along over at Clover and Violet. I finished the quilt top with all the embroidery on schedule. I choose to hand quilt it with straight line following the shape of the boxes created by the individual blocks on the front. I finish up with machine binding following Mellisa's of Happy Quilting tutorial. This is how the result looks like.

Quilt Description:

Size: 58″ x 58″
Binding: Machine bind
Quilting: Hand Quilted by me with straight lines along the sashing and around the centre of each block.
Pattern: Part of the Embroidery101: Stitch & Quilt Along hosted by Clover and Violet in 2011

I feel so pleased and happy with my accomplishment. This is my first UFO quilt finish for 2013.

Linking up with:

A Lovely Year of Finishes: January 2013

Hello…

Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!!

I am happy for having found Melissa of Sew Bittersweet Design and Shanna of Fiber of All Sorts who hosted this party.

Well, I jumped in with a goal to finish all my UFOs. I have listed all the projects for this party to finish up in 2013. Hope I manage to follow my list as planned and achieve my goal. So without further ado, this is the project that I chose for my first month finish... the Embroidery 101 that was from the quilt along that I joined in 2011. This is the first quilt along that I've joined and the first quilt top that I've sewn.

The quilt along was hosted by Jennie and Clara of Clover & Violet. I finished the quilt top in October 2011 and have been keeping the quilt top for more than a year now. Do you have stack of UFOs that need finishing too! Why not join in the party. I linked over at Fiber of All Sorts!

Happy Quilting!!

Embroidery 101 Quilt top

I choose to sew the quilt top from the Quilt Along that I participated at Clover & Violet for the Friday Night Sew-In. As a beginner and my first experience to sew a quilt, I find it very difficult , especially when there are few of my blocks are not in the same size.

Earlier I choose to follow the design recommended by Janelle by adding a 2 " sashing with a small square....I did that, but it did not turn out right. From the picture below you can see clearly that the sashing is not in line with the block...not satisfied with the result, I ripped open and stiched the sashing without the small square.

And the result ... my first quilt top!!

And below is how it looks on my queen size bed...

I share this at Clover & Violet ,Sew Darn Crafty Party and Friday Night Sew-In.

Happy Sewing!!!

Embroidery 101 : Final Block

I just finished my final block for Embroidery 101:Stitch & Quilt Along today.

I would say that this is one of the many pattern that I like most.

Even though the Embroidery 101 Quilt Along has already reach to the final block, basically it is not ended until you put all the nine blocks that have been embroidered together! I think I might have problem with this since I have never sew a quilt before... anyway many thanks goes to Jennie and Janelle for include the tips on how to do it(with or without sashing). Hope I manage ... till my next post on the assembling of the quilt top I wish everyone...

... Happy Stitching!!

Embroidery 101:Block 8

I just finished stitching the Block eight for the Embroidery 101 Quilt Along that I participate at Clover & Violet. Basically there are nine blocks in total that we need to stitch for a 54" square quilt. Being said so... it means just one more block to go before the quilt top finish.

The most challenging part while stitching this Block 8 was when I stitched the big petals. I used satin stitch with back stitch as the outline... just like Jennie's. I started with the outline followed with the satin stitch... I found it very difficult in filling up the space... in future I will remember to start with the satin stitch first and then the back stitch outline. Anyway it is a good experience ... and I'm happy with the result.

Happy Stiching!!

Embroidery 101:Block 7

I just completed stitching the embroidery for Block 7 for the Stitch & Quilt Along at Clover & Violet.

The cloud was suppose to used the split stitch but while I'm doing it I forgot about it and end up everything was used the back stitch... anyway

the rest of the pattern were according to the stitch as given by Jennie.

Happy Stitching!!
