Autumn Project

















Here's a cool Autumn project that I've got everything ready - the fabric, the designs, etc. Just need to stitch out the designs.

I decided to replace the pieced leaf blocks with embroidery.

The project instructions can be found here. Courtesy of Wilmington. There's a much clearer picture on the instructions than what I'm able to show you here.

Now the design I found at Embroidery Online. The designs match the flowers in the fabric . This is the result of the feature in your Bernina software that allows you to create an image from your design work page. Look for design HE138. I think it was $8 for the single design.
Mind you this is the design twice. I duplicated, then mirrored it. I copied one or two additonal flowers to fill in some of the spots where the designs meet. I made 2 mega hoops that I would duplicate the length of the quilt top. Again, this is going in place of the pieced leaf blocks.

The fabric we have in the shop is the border fabric shown in the project and I love the autumn colors! We've also got the other fabrics as well.



Here's a better close up of the fabric to give you a better idea of the flowers and colors. I love the colors. Get your fabric today and get started!

I can see why you had me reorder that fabric! That quilt is stunning and what a great idea for an embroidered border!

PS You're blog just gets cuter and cuter. Good job. = )
