It's here! The Bloggers Quilt Festival 2018! It's 1 of my favorite blogging events of the year. For this festival, I dug into the archives for a quilt I haven't shown inward a while. This niggling quilt is called "Written inward Thread." It's a mini at 22 x 28 inches, manus embroidered, automobile pieced as well as quilted.
When I saw this quilt made upwards at Pendleton Quilt Works, a quilt store inward Pendleton, Oregon, it was dear at offset sight.
Sadly, the quilt store is no longer inward business, precisely non for lack of trying. They were sold out of the pattern, precisely took my information as well as promised to contact me when they received more. I filed that inward the dorsum of my mind, precisely actually had no expectation anyone would follow through. Imagine my surprise when they called me at habitation a few days after as well as and hence shipped it to me.
The pattern is from 1 of my favorite embroidery designers, Bareroots Designs.
Once I had it inward my hands, I couldn't hold back to instruct started on it. Some of the embroidery was a niggling tricky since the blocks were oddly shaped inward around places as well as also embroidered on around skinny niggling pieces sandwiched betwixt traditional piecing.
In around cases, the piecing was done earlier the embroidery to arrive all work.
Fortunately, I had enough of aid from cats every bit I worked on it.
Here are a few to a greater extent than close-ups of the embroidered blocks.
Here's how it looks from the back.
