My 35th anniversary sampler is now competed and hanging on the wall.
I quilted it by hand using pearl cotton #12.
Each stitched square is quilted with a running stitch.
And each seam is quilted with a different stitch, crazy quilt style.
And there is stitching along the border.
I like this corner the best. The ochre and blue fabrics were both used in a quilt I made years ago. I enjoyed putting them together again.
Disclaimer: No supplies were purchased for this sampler. Everything was found in my closet.
So, the pearl cotton colors are not ideal. I would have liked something that stood out a little more. From a distance you can't see the stitching. But, the good news is you can't see any mistakes either.
Wowzers! I can't even imagine doing that much stitching by hand, but the crazy-quilt effect is beautiful and your stitches look so even! Pearl cotton was a wonderful idea, as the extra thickness really makes your specialty stitching stand out! Wonderful work :)
