I recently posted pictures of my dog quilts here and several people asked about cats. I have two cat books, each have 35 different cat patterns in them. This is the first one. The big quilt shows all 35 cats, the second one is the same quilt with fewer blocks and a different colorway.

These are hand sewn. I'm just not happy with the way my machine sewn blocks turn out, so I usually sew them by hand. On the black cat what is that embroidery stitch you use? Is that what they call a chain stitch? Finally, last question I promise. What technique do you use for your applique? Fusible, needle turn, or prepared (where you baste down your seam allowance before appliqueing to background) or none of the above ? |
WOW, I Love these quilts you make!I love things outlined in the blanket sticth.

Fusible, needle turn, or prepared (where you baste down your seam allowance before appliqueing to background) or none of the above ? I have a different way of sewing the blanket stitch. I tie a knot at the top of each stitch to keep them from sagging or leaning over. The black one is embroidered with a back stitch. It looks a bit like a chain stitch because I pierce the thread when I go back instead of coming up next to it. I don't know why but I've always done it that way.... and finally, I do needleturn applique. I find it the easiest, less "have to fuss with it" method. :-) |
Love them, great work!
