I totally agree, absolutely beautiful.

I used a 50 weight So Fine by Superior Threads --- it's my favorite!

I believe she just used a standard DMC in black.

Thank you!

Definitely a one-of-a-kind quilt made more beautiful with the quilting added. I'm sure they were very pleased.

EmiliasNana 03-29-2016 05:00 AM

I have always loved Crabapple Tree patterns and especially this one, as we live near the old route 66. What gorgeous work by both of you. Your attention to detail in the quilting, really enhanced her beautiful embroidery. WOW. I would have had a hard time parting with this after quilting it!

Trapunta 03-29-2016 07:43 AM

Very creative! And beautifully done.

RuthiesRetreat3 03-29-2016 08:41 AM

What a perfect job you've done to highlight the embroidery. You are VERY skilled. Great job!

maryellen2u 03-29-2016 05:52 PM

Jump for joy! No kidding. This is a masterpiece! Your quilting enhanced the quilt so much! Did you have trouble returning it to the owner? :D I would have!

TacoMama 03-29-2016 08:27 PM
