your beautifully worked wall hanging spurred me to learn something new! i looked up twilling. how very neat! i'd never heard of it, or seen it done. your quilting highlights the embroidery !

Am speechless but not to sound stupid, what is twilling??? Gorgeous work & stunning quilt.

Wow. Wonderful. What is twilling?

Beautiful work, but, I for 3, would like to know what twilling is? Is it like trapunto? Will be anxious to see a reply.

I have to say this is breath taking.
Wow and wow again...

Absolutely WOW WOW WOW! Stunning!!!







'Twilling is the art of adding embroidery to the surface of a quilt top, creating texture and a tactile embellishment beyond the quilting stitches. Reminiscent of candlewicking, twilling is accomplished with a few easy embroidery stitches and heavy pearl-cotton thread, which produces a pronounced line of stitches. In the past, twilling was done in a white-on-white or tone-on-tone application. Today, however, a great range of color is used in twilling patterns.'

What a labor of love!! I love the soft tonal quality of this quilt and your twilling is magnificent. Is this your own pattern? Once again, a beautiful piece of art. Thanks for sharing.

Exquisite!! Wonderful!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

I too didn't know about twilling until I followed the link and watched the video. How long have you been using this technique? Was it hard to figure out how to quilt around it? I would like to hear more of your experience in creating this quilt. I do hope you will enter it in a show. You've done a great job and certainly gave us something to oooh and ahhhh about. Thanks for sharing it with us.
