4 embroidered quilt blocks done..? to go..
 
4 Attachment(s)
Here are the first 4 embroidered blocks for one of the quilts I'm doing. The whole quilt will be hand piecing and quilting. Don't know yet how many blocks will be embroidered as I have so many pretty patterns I want to use.[ATTACH=CONFIG]414913[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]414914[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]414915[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]414916[/ATTACH]

Oh, I can tell I'm going to love, love, love this one! Reproduction prints and hand embroidery. Two of my favorite things. Please keep us posted.

So pretty!. Love embroidery. It's a good "road trip" project. You can pack a lot in a Ziploc and it just also adds dimension to quilts.

craftynell 05-22-2013 07:45 PM

Very very nice.

Lady-T 05-23-2013 02:31 AM

It's coming along great!

Kathy, I just googled.."butterfly embroidery designs"..and then clicked on "images of butterfly embroidery designs" and scrolled down till I found the ones I liked then copied them to WordPad [or whichever program you might have on your computer] and made them the size I wanted, printed them and then just traced them lightly to the fabric with carbon paper.
They are actually machine embroidery designs but work out really well for hand embroidery.
In the hummingbird block I just traced the flowers first without the butterfly and put in the hummingbird. The hummingbirds I found the same way..
