I really didn't know anything about quilting, since I came from a non-sewing family. My grandma and my great-aunt did hand embroidery so I learned from them.
If I were doing this piece today I would have made her hair a darker color to show up better against the white background.
This is my tracing from the Workbasket magazine on squared paper. I used the method of hand drawn enlarging working from small squared paper to larger squared paper to get a large image. Then I traced the larger image with pencil to the white background fabric.
A close up of my embroidery and quilting.
That is very sweet. You must have been born to quilt, since your family didn't sew!
ReplyDeleteI have sometimes used stitchery patterns for patchwork, just enlarged them & used fabrics.
I hope that this will always be a treasured heirloom !
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful !
