This quilt started last year as two separate pieces from an in-person class at Country Roads Quilt Shoppe and a Carolyn Friedlander paper piecing creativebug tutorial. After combining the two pieces into one I added a border to even out the prints and piecing.
From West Virginia to Las Vegas and then to Virginia, this quilt was snuggled under after becoming only a sandwich! It also had a lot of machine quilting removed and redone; I found this task trying, but necessary.
For the paper piecing I used the scrap stash, with many of the fabrics being from Moda.
Quilting free form lines mesmerizes me because of the movement given to the quilt.
Many of these fabrics are from projects I completed prior to making this blog. It’s wonderful to see those scraps from previous projects, efforts, and little things of love I sent off in the world.
The main border fabric is from “Honeymoon” by Sarah Watts for Cotton + Steel. It reminds me of James Wright.
Since I’m a Robert Kaufman and Carolyn Friedlander fan this wide backing was perfect. It adds a nice softness.
The sunlight gives the machine quilting great shadows. Aurifil thread was used on this quilt.
One quilt done and another one on the way.
Our Kickstarter is going amazingly well. Thank you to all the supporters and those that have enjoyed the work. We’re really excited to being working on a new series of embroidery projects, and to be expanding Brambleton Threads.
I wondered if you were still quilting-your quilts are so beautiful!
I’m very excited about your stitchery project with Kickstarter, xo

Your Quilt is beautiful! FYI, an electric seam ripper works very well for removing quilting stitches, when necessary. Still no fun, though. Good for you for doing what needed to be done!

Thank you for the tip! I had no idea about electric seam rippers; those should come with beginning sewing machines!
