I traced this flower onto fabric, hand-embroidered it, then colored it in with colored pencils.
oh and btw....I've had a walking foot for 2 years and have never used it 'cause I didn't get what it was supposed to do then at the quilting retreat one of the ladies noticed some of my art quilt edges were ripply and she said, ..."you should use a walking foot, then your edges will lay nice." DDDUUUHHHH! Thanks, Diane!
Auntie:....the edges are 3 pieces of white ribbon twisted together then zigzag stitched together x's 3 then sewn on to the quilt.....its the 'couching' method.....see this post.

That's more like you.... happy embroidery!
love the beads.... what's on the edges?
Norning Karen, couldn't sleep anymore so I got up and will do some of those things that I was worried about geting done. Always fun to see what you are up to. Love, Mom
Tools are great... other quilters showing you how to use them, even better.
hi karen! that is so pretty! and i have some questions, since i'm new to quilting :) 1. regular colored pencils, or special fabric ones? 2. where do you have your stuff quilted?
