Third pair (of four) mini quilts, stitched together! 👏🥰

…Now I should be referring to them as ‘panels’ of the collection. 😁🪡🧵

Here’s another pair of my mini quilts, stitched together! 👏🥰

For those interested in how, I’ve used grey thread, and the ladder stitch, about 1/8” apart. 🪡🧵

I decided to stitch the 8 mini quilts I’ve made together, as a collection.
This wasn’t my original plan, so wasn’t sure how ‘nicely’ I’d be able to accomplish that.

I’m loving how beautifully it’s turning out, thanks to hand stitching! 👏🪡🧵

Not everything I try works out…
I did a test sample of this embroidered butterfly, to see if I like it enough, before adding one to my Bits & Bobs quilt.

Result: I think it’s lacking the charm, I was hoping for. 😁🪡

I intended to make a cardigan for Elvira but it had a bit of a punk/goth vibe so Mara claimed it. Handsewn from an old cardigan. 🪡

The dark blue cord along the edge, of my Bits & Bobs quilt, is a small detail, that is making such a huge difference! 😍

I jumped ahead a bit and started to stitch it on, and I knew immediately how perfect an addition it is!! 🪡🧵

Finished a side of the Peace Round the World quilt top! I still don't know what colour will follow, but plenty of dark green remains before I need to decide 😆

Hey you! Yeah you! It is very punk rock to mend your clothes rather than adding to landfill ♻️🧵🪡 it's easier than you think, I promise.
