When a quilt becomes a family heirloom!

Someone's going to have tears of joy upon recieving this quilt 🥰

I have some blocks to put into a quilt from a friend, fter watching your show ,you have given me the energy to get busy and finish it. I am 94 and want to finish it NOW . Thank you !😊

Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I'm doing right now, for my best friend! She found 63 embroidered panels her dear friend, who died several years ago, had hand embroidered. She asked me to make 7 quilt tops for her 7 granddaughters. What a challenge! but well worth the effort for my friend.

Great job! I’m sure Mrs Hocutt would be so pleased to see her work exposed into this beautiful quilt that will be loved for the family for years. Thank you for sharing.

Oh my gosh, someone really spent quite a bit of time doing absolutely beautiful embroidery. I am glad that the folks are making this into a heirloom quilt. Hands down favorite block was the unfinished one, It is wonderful that they included it in the quilt. Love that it was quilted around the embroidery. Great video! Thank you.

Great video Penny !!!! Really enjoy seeing something "old" turned into something that all the family can enjoy. ✌🏻♥️

Very Unique and Beautiful! A Wonderful Keepsake!

Very beautiful, and thank you for showing us. The family will treasure this quilt forever.

I love the binding explanation, especially the two inch piece used at the end to join the ends together

What a gem! This is so beautiful! And the backing fabric - it’s like the lady who did the embroidery designed it! Just perfect! Deb x 🤗

Thank you for sharing. I inherited embroidery squares from my Aunt and had no idea what to do with them but hated to get rid of them. I will try this and I know she will be so proud .

I’ve made a couple of baby quilts with my embroidered blocks. I like being able to combine my love of embroidery with my love of quilting.

Such a beautiful memory for the ones that you made this for. They will love it. Good job.🌼

This is a wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing. 🙏😃😊

So interesting to watch your whole process from beginning to end! Thank you for sharing 😍

That's a lovely shade of green the family chose for the sashes. It makes the embroidered squares pop. Great work

What a great project with the combo of craft skills! I can see this would also be a great up cycle of a vintage tablecloth.

❤ TFS, very beautiful!

Hard work turns lonely ❤❤❤❤❤

I’ve been pondering all my moms embroidery and how to preserve her work. This is stunning and just the thing I’m going to try.❤ Thank you

I am so glad I found you! In a bag of fabric, and projects in various stages of completion, donated to my charity sewing group, I found several embroidered teacup blocks. All were embroidered with the maker's name. I have been looking for an idea to put them together...NOW I have one! Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Very pretty. Good teaching too thank you.

I enjoyed your video very much. I ama 68 yrs. old and have been embroidering since I was 9. For the past 30 years, I have concentrated on crewel embroidery. I have done some quilting and enjoyed it, but not as much as embroidery. However, when my husband retired a few years ago, he took up quilting with a passion. To my surprise he did an excellent job. We have been thinking about combining our skills and making wall hangings with a crewel embroidered center, and a quilt of a compatible pattern surrounding it. Your video wasn't exactly what we are considering doing, but it was encouraging. Thank you so much.

Beautiful work thank you ❤❤

The backing fabric was SPECTACULAR !!!!!!

Wow! That was a lot of work Ms. Lois put into those squares. I've never pieced my backing before to put a label on. I usually turn under the edges of the label & sew it directly to the quilt back before hand quilting. I like how the 10th piece was the label. Awesome idea. 😊

Those embroidery squares are beautiful thank you for sharing them with us.

My Mom did 12 angel squares. She died before she could finish the last 2. I finished them and I have never done a quilt so this helps me understand how to do the squares.

The sashing and backing colors really compliment the hand embroidery

You did a lovely job, the backing they chose was perfect, and the finished quilt looks absolutely Fab !!

That is so beautiful 😍 thank you for sharing.

This video is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have two partially done tops that I started at a quilt retreat many years ago with my Mom. She’s now gone and along with those two pieces she gifted me her all of her quilt material. It’s been so emotional just looking at the fabric never mind completely overwhelmed at what to with it all. My plan was to make a quilt or throw pillows for each of my 5 siblings. Thank you so much for sharing your work. ❤️🇨🇦

Beautiful work!

Thank you for the amazing quilting work, embroidery and all xx

Hello this quilt turned out so nice, i like all the embroidery designs. Even the sashings were a perfect choice in color. Of course the quilting was beautiful also. The client is really going to be happy with the way this turned out. Thanks for taking the time to show it step by step the process along the way. I too have some Brazilian embroidered pieces. That someday I'm going to put into a quilt. I will keep this video to help me remember the process. Looking forward to your next video.

Wow! This is a beautiful memory quilt. Thank you for showing step by step the process of putting together this quilt.

Absolutely stunning work!!! 🥰

Great beautiful job 😊

This is a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing!

That turned out beautiful!!

That is great! Thank you for sharing! I have some squares like that done by my husband's great grandmother. Now I know what to do with them!!

That is absolutely beautiful. I am learning so much about quilting from you. I need to practice binding some on some potholders so that I can bind a quilt one day. Thanks for your tutorials.

A beautiful quilt and a great job ❤️😁🌹

Beautiful work 😍

😍 keep Rocking the good stuff 👍 Beautiful person 🤗 helps me in my pre embroidery 🪡 ❄️ blocks

Beautiful I love the green

Wonderful work Penny! Your work has highlighted each of Ms. Lois’ squares. I do love your tip on figuring the backing too, math gives me a headache😅

Such great communication. 🎉

Thank you for being such a good teacher i did one of your quilt❤

I love the block on the back so beautiful

Great tutorial. I have an embroider ing machine and have lots of blocks. Great ideas.

Beautiful work

I started watching this 3 days ago. Then my internet went out . I didn't know who's video this was till I looked and searched this eve - I had to see finished quilt. Now I am gladly subscribed. Lovely quilt.

Enjoying the replay ❤

This is what I working on now, This is beautiful you did a great job. Thanks for sharing, 34:59

Perfect choices!

Owow lovely

Thank you for doing this. It gives me some ideas for some embroidery I have!!

It’s beautiful

Wonderful and beautiful memory quilt. I have been doing a few with hand embroidered pieces left by my relatives. Embroidered pieces need Pellon Shapeflex on the back, just like a T-shirt/baby clothes quilt. It stabilizes the embroidery stitches and prevents distortion of the embroidery. This method is used by most memory quilters and kits that combine hand embroidery and pieced blocks.

Beautiful.

So beautiful

Nicely done thank you

Good job.

Great video!

I hope your customer loves the quilt!! I surely do!

Love this

I want to make a quilt from embroidery squares I’ve made but I need to clear up wips and use scraps for scrap blocks first!!

This is beautiful🎉 what a great job you have done with the treasure.. I have a friend that I am helping with something similar from her grandmother. Would you ever consider adding stabilizer to the embroidered blocks to had some protection for the embroidery?

I have squares that my grandmother made for me when I was born. I have several granddaughters and want to do something for each There are fifteen to be divided by nine granddaughters One granddaughter already has one but wanted to just frame it These were made prior to Aug 1945

I will need a purple seam guide when I get there in June

I am always given every scrap of fabric when I take a quilt to a longarmer.

I have squares that belong to my aunt that she embroidered, but she had put batting in between and a backing on each piece now I’m trying to figure out how to do the Quilt since she embroidered through all pieces. I hope that makes sense. I’m just trying to get an idea how to make the quilt with these blocks done this waythank you

I might have missed it, but how wide were the sashing strips? And how wide do you cut your binding strips? I have started doing redwork embroidery blocks to make into a quilt one day. This quilt you made is beautiful! Thanks so much for the tutorial, which was clear and concise.

I have a box of moms, hankies. Will I need to use deco to stablelize the hankies?

beautful

I’ve never seen a long arm to quilt. I was intrigued that the quilt top was as loose as it was.

You did such a beautiful job, I know they will love it. Where can I get that green tape I need it, please and thank you .❤❤

You made it look so beautiful. I would love to know what the name of the fabric you put on the back. You are a sweet person, and thank you for showing this video. I have learned a lot from you.

This is why I have a huge design wall AND take a photo every time I complete a row. The camera always sees what I don’t.

It was a beautiful job, how does one go about pricing a job like this?

So beautiful!! Any idea what fabric that backing is? Thanks

How pretty! Love your color choices and quilting designs! Enhanced her beautiful blocks. Do you offer quilting services to clients outside your area?

So do you freehand your quilt with your longarm? It turned out so beautiful!

Where can we find some embroidery patterns like this?

I wish I had someone leave some embroidery so I could make a quilt like this from it. I just love that backing fabric too. What is the name of that? Do you have more of it?

Some of the embroidered squares look like they are placed so the flowers are in random directions. Am I seeing that right? A bigger picture of the co,pleated quilt would help. Thank you for the great demo and direction.

I'm confused. The unfinished piece, won't the marking for the stitching come out in the wash?
