my sister's "Witches" quilt
 

My sister, who does awesome hand embroidery, tinted and stitched this lovely quilt and I got to quilt it. I wanted to highlight the embroidery and do a dense fill that made the "floor" look different than the background. I used SoFine #50 thread in the borders (spiders & pumpkins) and Marathon #60 (not sure of the name but it compares to BottomLine though bit of shine)
I used a n 80/20 and then a wool bat so it got some faux trapunto effect.

That is gorgeous.

Your sister's drawings, elaborated by her with embroidery and paint? They are humorous and charming--so much detail. And your quilting embellishments really add to it.

love it :)

Good job!!

What a beautiful quilt and quilting! Just gorgeous.

great quilt

Beautiful details in the embroidery and quilting. Love the lesson boards; delightful!

Wonderful! Great work from your sister and you!

Wonderful work. You and your sister are a marvelous team for creating spectacular quilts. I really like the tinting with the embroidery- it really stands out. Your quilting is perfect for the artwork. Thank you for showing us your combined effort, we are inspired.

Wow, that is amazing! I love the embroidery. ;)

Together you have made something very special. It is so fun. Your sister's hand work is gorgeous. And your quilting really completed the look.

Wonderful job you did on this. I bet your sister is thrilled. I especially like your treatment of the sashing/borders with the pumpkins and leaves on the orange (which turned out great) and the spider webs (with occupants!) in the black

That is gorgeous, pat on the back to you both!

Not sure which took longer to do...the embroidery and shading or the quilting itself. You both must be very loving and patient women. Your combined effort has left us smiling and breathless.

So creative, very nice!

What a team! Beautifully done.

It clear to see that talent runs in your family. What an amazing quilt! I love what you did with the pumpkins and spider webs. And your sister's witches are a work of art. You both should be very proud.
