I love your border embroidery on your mystery quilt. How did you do it.
These are quilting patterns in a set that I purchased from Secrets of Embroidery. It's called Quilt Border Stitch Designs by Birdhouse Cottage Crafts. I drew the center line in washable pen and measured carefully for each paisley so there was an even distribution of designs on each border. Each one was done individually. I did the corner designs and then decided to use fabric paint for color. I could have embroidered the color if I'd thought of it in time.
This whole process was fun and a great way to learn more about using my embroidery machine. I kept my older Bernina to do my piecing and sewing and use the new one mostly for embroidery. With all my machines including my longarm, my sewing room is pretty crowded. I iron in the hallway. And my q. stash is in every nook and crannie all over the house.
I love crafts and am always trying new techniques. Embroidery is just soooo much fun.
