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.'

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.
