Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I'm doing right now, for my best friend! She found 63 embroidered panels her dear friend, who died several years ago, had hand embroidered. She asked me to make 7 quilt tops for her 7 granddaughters. What a challenge! but well worth the effort for my friend.
Great job! I’m sure Mrs Hocutt would be so pleased to see her work exposed into this beautiful quilt that will be loved for the family for years. Thank you for sharing.
Oh my gosh, someone really spent quite a bit of time doing absolutely beautiful embroidery. I am glad that the folks are making this into a heirloom quilt. Hands down favorite block was the unfinished one, It is wonderful that they included it in the quilt. Love that it was quilted around the embroidery. Great video! Thank you.
I have some blocks to put into a quilt from a friend, fter watching your show ,you have given me the energy to get busy and finish it. I am 94 and want to finish it NOW . Thank you !😊
Thank you for sharing. I inherited embroidery squares from my Aunt and had no idea what to do with them but hated to get rid of them. I will try this and I know she will be so proud .
I am so glad I found you! In a bag of fabric, and projects in various stages of completion, donated to my charity sewing group, I found several embroidered teacup blocks. All were embroidered with the maker's name. I have been looking for an idea to put them together...NOW I have one! Thank you so much for the inspiration.
I enjoyed your video very much. I ama 68 yrs. old and have been embroidering since I was 9. For the past 30 years, I have concentrated on crewel embroidery. I have done some quilting and enjoyed it, but not as much as embroidery. However, when my husband retired a few years ago, he took up quilting with a passion. To my surprise he did an excellent job. We have been thinking about combining our skills and making wall hangings with a crewel embroidered center, and a quilt of a compatible pattern surrounding it. Your video wasn't exactly what we are considering doing, but it was encouraging. Thank you so much.
This video is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have two partially done tops that I started at a quilt retreat many years ago with my Mom. She’s now gone and along with those two pieces she gifted me her all of her quilt material. It’s been so emotional just looking at the fabric never mind completely overwhelmed at what to with it all. My plan was to make a quilt or throw pillows for each of my 5 siblings. Thank you so much for sharing your work. ❤️🇨🇦
My Mom did 12 angel squares. She died before she could finish the last 2. I finished them and I have never done a quilt so this helps me understand how to do the squares.
Wow! That was a lot of work Ms. Lois put into those squares. I've never pieced my backing before to put a label on. I usually turn under the edges of the label & sew it directly to the quilt back before hand quilting. I like how the 10th piece was the label. Awesome idea. 😊
Wonderful and beautiful memory quilt. I have been doing a few with hand embroidered pieces left by my relatives. Embroidered pieces need Pellon Shapeflex on the back, just like a T-shirt/baby clothes quilt. It stabilizes the embroidery stitches and prevents distortion of the embroidery. This method is used by most memory quilters and kits that combine hand embroidery and pieced blocks.
I started watching this 3 days ago. Then my internet went out . I didn't know who's video this was till I looked and searched this eve - I had to see finished quilt. Now I am gladly subscribed. Lovely quilt.
That is absolutely beautiful. I am learning so much about quilting from you. I need to practice binding some on some potholders so that I can bind a quilt one day. Thanks for your tutorials.
Hello this quilt turned out so nice, i like all the embroidery designs. Even the sashings were a perfect choice in color. Of course the quilting was beautiful also. The client is really going to be happy with the way this turned out. Thanks for taking the time to show it step by step the process along the way. I too have some Brazilian embroidered pieces. That someday I'm going to put into a quilt. I will keep this video to help me remember the process. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much 😊 The customer was thrilled!! I hope when you make yours you send a picture. We’d love to see yours! Have fun with it. Thanks for watching.
This is beautiful🎉 what a great job you have done with the treasure.. I have a friend that I am helping with something similar from her grandmother. Would you ever consider adding stabilizer to the embroidered blocks to had some protection for the embroidery?
I have squares that my grandmother made for me when I was born. I have several granddaughters and want to do something for each There are fifteen to be divided by nine granddaughters One granddaughter already has one but wanted to just frame it These were made prior to Aug 1945
Yes! I do the same. I believe all longarmers return the extra material. Did someone not? If you’re taking about the excess I put on the quilt for the label and for rolling it on the machine, I did not charge the customer for that so it was my material. Just to be clear.
Thank You!! You are so talented! Looking forward to you adding some Charm to my tops. Will def be in touch. Have been sending way too far. Your prices are fair and very competitive and quality is outstanding!
Some of the embroidered squares look like they are placed so the flowers are in random directions. Am I seeing that right? A bigger picture of the co,pleated quilt would help. Thank you for the great demo and direction.
I might have missed it, but how wide were the sashing strips? And how wide do you cut your binding strips? I have started doing redwork embroidery blocks to make into a quilt one day. This quilt you made is beautiful! Thanks so much for the tutorial, which was clear and concise.
You made it look so beautiful. I would love to know what the name of the fabric you put on the back. You are a sweet person, and thank you for showing this video. I have learned a lot from you.
Thank you! I’ll have to check when I get to the shop in the morning. I can’t remember the name of it right now. Text us at 205-903-4133 and I’ll let you know what it is.
I have squares that belong to my aunt that she embroidered, but she had put batting in between and a backing on each piece now I’m trying to figure out how to do the Quilt since she embroidered through all pieces. I hope that makes sense. I’m just trying to get an idea how to make the quilt with these blocks done this waythank you
I wish I had someone leave some embroidery so I could make a quilt like this from it. I just love that backing fabric too. What is the name of that? Do you have more of it?
