Yes. I used the buttonhole stitch and embroidery thread by hand. Thank you!

How many threads did you use and where do we find the book?

I personally, use two strands. You can find the book on my website or you can ask for it at your local quilt store.... thanks!! :-)

I love your version of this quilt. Love the colors! If anyone else has done a quilt from the Darling Little Dogs book (or any of your others) I would love the see pics of the finished quilts.

Love, love, love the puppies. Those dogs are darling.....and prairie points just finished it off beautifully.

Great, great job! Very lovely work! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

I am doing the blanket stitch on one of my quilts-having trouble-what kind, and size needle do you use, what kind of thread, and how do you do it? is done just on one block or on the whole quilt? I'd appreciate the answers

I have a new way of doing it where I wrap the thread around the needle with each stitch. This keeps them straight and makes a knot at the top of each one so they don't sag or slip or lay over. I usually use two strands of embroidery floss. Sometimes three, but usually two. I use a regular embroidery needle. Not too big, but big enough to thread it easily. I sew mine one block at a time, then put the quilt together.

The quilt I am doing, has to go through 5 layers of fabric. I am struggling. thinking of trying by machine, but I love your quilt and would LOVE to do it your way. Your quilt, and design is awesome!
