Omg, thank you so very much. That just made my whole day. xoxo

I agree - it looks almost vintage - Victorian style- I am inspired to try this and have such a stash of ribbons and lace it would be a shame not to

I’m going back over some of your videos Lauretta. I do love your crazy quilt blocks. They are so beautifully embellished and your stitching is SO neat. I do love your work. Definitely an heirloom piece. This would take me forever but you do inspire me to do some stitching. Tfs xx

It’s a masterpiece

Thank you so much Magdastar! And welcome to my channel. Thank you for watching and commenting. xo

I know a lot of people who use that method! That's a good method. I've tried it but apparently keeping spray glue from going places it shouldn't is not one of my skills so I stick to needle and thread. :-) lol Thank you for watching. xo

Thank you! xo

27 quilts! That's awesome! I love to make quilts. I sort of rotate my hobbies, so I am still making quilts. Every now and then I will share one on here, but they are hard to film. :-) I know several people who have moved from quilts to journals. I'm not sure what it is, but the allure of journal making is quite strong. And satisfying. I absolutely love it. I wish you good luck. I have a play list on some embroidery stitches (and you can find lots of other YT videos and channels on how to make certain embroidery stitches) but just know that "slow stitching" does not require a lot of accuracy. Here's a link to a journal cover that I did. Maybe it'll give you some ideas: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqt2m86o263Idok.html

@@sparrowhawkerdesigns oh thank you so much I think Ill do a small fun piece to get me going Cheers 🇦🇺❤️🌺

You can either put a quilter's sleeve on the back (google out to make a sleeve for a quilt). On smaller quilts I use those plastic knitting circles and baste them on the back and then hang them on a nail. Have fun!!! xo

Thank you, Susan. Yes "stitch in the ditch" is a quilters term. It means to quilt where the pieces are joined. In my case on this piece, I'm stitching in the ditch where I joined the six blocks. Other than that, I'm loosely quilting around some of the other items, wherever I think I can hide or disguise my stitches so that they don't take away from the embroidery. Thank you for inviting me to participate today! xo

@@sparrowhawkerdesigns thanks for explaining!

Thank you! It was a joy to make. xo

Merci! Je ne sais pas comment faire la vidéo en français. Je pense que tu peux le faire de ton côté. J'utilise google translate pour ce texte écrit. Je suis vraiment désolé pour tout inconvénient.

I don't have a video where I sewed the blocks together. When you decorate your blocks just make sure you keep your stitches etc about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch away from the edge. Then you just take two blocks and lay them right sides together and sew along one edge and sew them together. You can either use a machine or a long running stitch by hand. I had six blocks, so once two of them were sewn together, I added the third in the same way. So then I have one row finished. Then I repeated these steps for the second row: sew two blocks together, add the third. Then I sewed the top row to the bottom row. Then if you want, you can go back and add things to cover up the seams like laces, trims, appliques or stitches. If you don't mind having the blocked look then you don't have to add anything to your piece at all. I will try and demonstrate this in an upcoming video for you. It might be a few days until I get it up, so hit the notification bell so that you'll know when I post it. Thank you! xo
