Hi again everyone. I finished quilting my Good Ol' Summertime Mini Quilt. I free motion quilted it. I really had fun quitling this quilt. I got to practice my free motion quilting. I really went out of my comfort zone and I'm happy with the results. It turned out better than I expected. I bought embroidery thread to quilt it. The embroidery thread has a sheen and I really like the way it looks. I also used a different bobbin thread. I used a cream fabric for the backing and cream thread for the bobbin. I like the back of the quilt almost as much as the front. I hope you all like it. Tommorrow I will put the binding on. I can't wait to be done. Then I'll be able to scratch that one off my ever growing list of UFO's. Well, that's all for tonight. 
Happy Stitching!!
Ariane :o)
The mini-quilt is fabulous, and I love the free motion quilting you did. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I should get you to quilt mine. I finally have my pattern and fabric picked out. I had so many ideas.
ReplyDeleteI would love to venture out of my comfort zone and free motion like that...maybe one day I will get brave enough. I just stipple.
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautiful, Ariane. I especially like the movement you gave to the grass. The embroidery thread gives just the right highlighting to it.
ReplyDeleteI love how you quilted the grass! great job!
ReplyDeletegood job, looks great. I am still working on mine, but getting there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Congrats on going out of your comfort zone. I may be doing the same, going out of my comfort zone for the quilting. I think that is what I like about the swaps, trying new techniques!
