Can you tell? This is one of my favorites. Embroidery warms my heart and so did this pattern when I first saw it. Perhaps it should have been blue work to really set off the chill of winter. But with all the trees and buildings, brown seemed best. (It's a Crabapple Hill pattern.)
The lettering is sort of whimsical and the words seem musical by waving through the center block.
Even though it isn't proper to quilt over embroidery, it seemed necessary given the size and width of the blocks and the weight of all the stitching. Here's where quilting isn't as important as the look of stitching so I try to keep it to a minimum.

ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful. I did this pattern in red and blue to match my decor, but the browns are really nice and would look great for the whole fall season. Love it!
