Alphabet embroidered quilt
I am really proud of this quilt. It took me a while to decide what to do with those cute bear, alphabet and number panels but a little bit of embroidery and some bright modern fabric makes for an adorable baby quilt!
I used different stitches to highlight details on each letter block.
Of course there's a 'Q' quilt!
mmm french knot cherries!
I did straight line quilting with my trusty cone of Aurifil 50wt in 2021.
The quilt is for sale in my Etsy shop.
I used different bold modern fabrics and dots and the backing is Riley Blake, Apple of My Eye - I really love that print! The black and white stripe binding worked perfectly.

Today I've been doing some straight line quilting on my embroidered alphabet quilt using my Aurifil cone. It really works well and it is so easy to set up.
Just make sure you keep the CD spool over to the far right rear of your machine to avoid knocking it over like I did!
I also trimmed my new rainbow log cabin blocks and I like this arrangement:
For both of these quilts I want to use a black and white stripe binding because it works so well and is a great way to showcase the quilt and colours. I found a nice deal on this striped cotton (code PC260-79) from Chawlas - only £4.49 a metre and it is good quality with a nice feel too. * A tip - the website pictures don't necessarily show all the colour options so you need to check the options in the colours selection box. I will let you know how it works for the binding once I've sewn it on.
I made my October bee blocks for Erin using this tutorial - they were fun and easy, sorry they are late Erin they will be in the post tomorrow!

I love it when a plan comes together and it seems like I'm on a roll with my Le Challenge makes. This week I finished my high voltage lampshade:
Last night the fates conspired and I have the perfect project for next month's theme, which is STRIPES. So I had a dig and found the perfect fabrics:
I think it'll look good. If you're working on something with stripes or fancy having a go, and you complete your project, please link up with us at Le Challenge on November 15th for your chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop. Go here to read more!
I'm also well on the way to finishing quilting a pattern I'm testing:
And doing some planning for putting my alphabet blocks together (I'm going to have to catch up on the proper ABCBOW now I have the book 'S is for Stitch' by Kristyne Czepuryk but I will start when I've finished some other stuff!). Don't you just love my highly technical drawing and planning?! No quilt design software here!!
