Thread Tales From A Scrappy Quilter

Another fantastic quilt by Karen.  The fabrics are gorgeous and I tried to let those be the focus of the quilt.  I knew she wanted the cranes to appear like they had been trapunto quilted so I needed to quilt densely in the background of that panel.  Thread embellishment, background fill and some border treatments finished this off nicely.   I really like the way this turned out.  My husband like this one so much he tried to buy it from Karen!      

Life is getting back to normal and I finally have a customer quilt off the frame.  Simple elegance, entirely "SID" stitched in the ditch around all the sashings, 2 fill designs for the blocks, lots of background fill on the panel and outline stitching in gold for the detail.   Glide threads on top and bobbin, 100 wt Invisifil for SID.  I really love Invisifil!
