I wish to submit the following for consideration in the Quilting Contest you are sponsoring on the Yahoo Group. The work is “Wisteria” using BFC890 by the same name. This was embroidered on white cotton (Kona cotton from Robert Kaufman). It was finished with a purple batik for the borders, backing and binding. I also added a layer of DreamPoly as batting. There was light quilting with black thread at the borders of each embroidery block and around the final embroidery boundary and also light quilting of the final border to hold all layers together.
Unfortunately I no longer have this piece. It was donated to our local St. Vincent de Paul Society for their 150th Anniversary Gala for a silent auction which was two days after I finished the piece. I was lucky to get a good picture of it first! I’m going to have to stitch this one out again so I have one for myself (if I don’t donate that one to someone else).
I hope you eventually were able to do one of these for yourself martha – you did a gorgeous job! Suz
