stitching together

well, i decided to go ahead and just do some simple stitching on the mini quilt to finish it. there really weren't any disastrous needle incidents; besides the moment i sewed my thumb, but luckily there was no loss of blood involved.

i quite like the rippling texture, it's very much like viewing the crops lined up in fields while one is in a plane overhead. the backside came out okay, but not really photo worthy. i decided to create the whole piece by hand sewing; it's so small as to be a completely accomplishable task.


will i do another one? i'm not really sure, perhaps not anytime soon. but there is a stack of wheat and lavender fabrics i've been collecting.

The color palette is just stunning! Lovely work. How big is it?

thanks! it's very little, only 6" x 8.5". i like miniature things; sometimes i dream of having a machine that shrinks or enlarges things, i would move into my dollhouse in an instant.

I really love this! The colors are so lovely. And you really did the full quilt technique. I just finished a similar study but wasn't as patient as you!

because the piece was so small, it wasn't too difficult talking myself into hand quilting the entire piece; and to tell the truth, i like the control one has over every bit when sewing by hand.
