Thanks to Carla of Creatin' in the Sticks who did
an absolutely amazing job as cheerleader
and to Madame Samm of Sew We Quilt
for all of her hard work as the head cheerleader.
I don't have a "Sewing Room." I would
say it is more of a sewing wall.
I don't have very much room to keep a lot
of extra things in this area, but
the kids do join me quite often at my space.
They do some ironing or visit so
I made them a quilt to sit
on the bench and warm up if need be
while they visit.
I decided to practice my Ruffles
since we have a little
Ruffle hop coming up.
I heard someone say that
everything looks better with a Ruffle.
Hmmm... I wonder who that was?
Let's
just say after all the practice I had on this
I should be good to go. Right?
I did a little thread painting on the center
corset. I have never been more nervous doing
it on a project before. If I messed it up it would
have been a little disastrous.
I also used Aurifil 12wt. #1147 in that coordinating
corset. I have never been more nervous doing
it on a project before. If I messed it up it would
have been a little disastrous.
I also used Aurifil 12wt. #1147 in that coordinating
color in my sewing machine again for the thread
coming out of the giant needle.
I love how it turns out and will continue to
play with it a lot more.

This is just lovely! Fantastic ruffles...such creative embellishments! Very pretty project!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to practice your ruffles... that's something I should do, too! Great project :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Amy, I just love it. The big corset in the middle is lovely. I've had corsets in my head and that is just what I wish I would have created and then you added that big ole needle... So creative and whimsical. Love all the details and ruffles. There is nothing I don't love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping. Great quilt!
Love your quilt Amy, and the ruffles are perfect! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAmy ... this is sew incredibly amazing. The layout is great; the center block is wonderful ... and the needle and thread detail ... ! The ruffle ... yes ...it is the perfect touch. proving that eveyrthing is made better with a ruffle. I love the backing fabric. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat

ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet Amy!! I love the thread painting and ruffles....
ReplyDeleteohhh you got me on the ruffles, but you know what stirred me, your mention of the kids cuddling up on the bench….you don't do your sewing outside do you lol. kidding…I love your thread painting and your BUST in the centre…totally authentic...
ReplyDeletePerfect! I love the needle and thread quilting....everything is just so cute. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh and I am "Sew Incredibly Crazy" over it! Your thread painting came out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust a little mix of fun and stress when trying new things huh! :-)
I'm in love with this quilt and with your quilting! The kids are gonna' fight over who gets to cover up with it. :) blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteI love it, it is so beautiful
ReplyDeleteYour ruffled quilt is so perfect for your sewing area! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGracious, Amy, that's a fabulous quilt. I do have a question...The center corset isn't part of the fabric line, right? I'm assuming that you designed and made it from scratch and then did thread painting to enhance it. It really is a work of art! The added ruffle does support someone's addage that "everything looks better with a Ruffle"!!!!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I want to come over and cover up with that B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L quilt ! Your thread painting and embellishing is just perfect. You are a star...that's what you ARE !
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little quilt! Fantastic job on the thread painting and the ruffles.
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric, and you quilt...wonderful!
