Embroidered Scrappy Tumbler in progress
I have an old hand-sewn tumbler quilt I bought years and years and years ago that is falling to bits. It's made of old shirts and scraps of used clothing -- obviously a (very precious) utility quilt. To honour the anonymous quilter who made it, I decided to replace it with my own scrappy tumbler quilt using fabrics I've had for a while that mean something to me. I was listening to "Autumn Leaves" at the time, so the theme was an easy choice: fall colours.
I wasn't as pleased as I thought I'd be, so I decided to add some embroidery (not my forte!). I'm putting a leaf on each piece.
The quilt is about 1/3 embroidered, so far. The embroidery and piecing are by hand, and quilting will also be by hand.[ATTACH=CONFIG]480120[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]480121[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]480122[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]480123[/ATTACH]
Thanks for taking a look.
