I think that's a great idea. I have several pieces that I cross-stitched myself several years ago. They're a series of animals that I had intended to frame in groups of 3 (12 altogether). Now I'm thinking...maybe I could get them out of the closet and put them into a wall-quilt.
Nice idea...thanks!! :D |
JNCT14, be sure to show your table topper when you finish it! I have a feeling it will be gorgeous.

DJ beautiful ideas and work.
I would worry about washing them, so wallhangins would be the way to go, maybe put a fusible backing on those squares to bond the threads from the stitches. |
I have just started a cross-stitched quilt. I am not using previously cross stitched blocks. I am using waste cloth to stitch my patterns on cotton, then will incorporate my blocks into a quilt.
You completed those "blocks" as a labor of love. I wouldn't want to see them "gotten rid of." If framed, and you don't want them, perhaps they could be donated to a nursing home to brighten the room of a resident.... or if more appropriate... to a shelter for children/families. Will be looking forward to answers as to how this quilt might hold up. :-) |
When my youngest son was in seminary, I xstitched 12 blocks. Since he was single, I used a variety of greens for the rest of the blocks. I paid someone to do the quilting for me. It turned out gorgeous.

I wish that I had used fusible batting instead of regular batting. I agree with the suggestion of using fusible interfacing. I have included pictures of the wall hanging.

I have made a quilt with Cross Stitch. Here is a picture.

I have never used anything but aida clth to do cross stitich. Do you have to use a printed pattern to do it on a regular cotton quilting material? Do you have to buy patterns or can you draft your own and if so, how?

The quilt I posted the cross stitch is done on aida. You just put the quilt together just like any other quilt.

I've got a bunch of cross stitched pictures I made and collected over the years. Trying to decide what to do with them...options include, putting them in a quilt, framing them for a child's room, or getting rid of them. |
