My Amish mini was calling for feathers but is getting a fly stitch instead. Was inspired by my friend Susan, a blue-ribboned embroiderer. She said this was easier and more fun to do. I'm using Aurifil #12 wt. similar to Perle cotton.
Which reminds me...my mom, Pearl, turns 94 today! I owe her big time for teaching me how to sew ...plus a whole lot more!!!
94! Wow! Is she in good health too? Happy Birthday Pearl :0)
ReplyDeleteYour little quilt is looking fantastic, are you doing the stitch through
3 layers? Hand stitching is so relaxing isn't it?
Happy Sewing
Mom is wheelchair bound but is a very healthy ninety-four otherwise.

ReplyDeleteYour stitches look perfect Helen - your mom did good! Best wishes to Pearl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Miss Pearl, what an amazing accomplishment ninety-four years marks. Congratulations. I love the hand-stitching. I find it to be very relaxing too, Helen, when my hands are behaving themselves.
ReplyDeletelooks great! do the embroidery stitches go through all the layers?
ReplyDeleteYes, they serve as decorative quilting stitches.
DeleteLovely stitches. Your mom is 94? Let's hope you've got those good genes.
