Thank you. I would have chosen a cotton fabric rather than silk and I would have used earth tones. The satiny shiny material is not really me - hence my mom has the quilt. Everyone has their own taste. I used the "wrong" side of the fabric for the blocks and the "right" side for the sashings.
145196This is lovely - I have a friend in NC - going to classes - once a month - to learn this techique and quilt - she has the CD - but not the knowledge of quilting - but she is learning - you did a great job - what colors would you pick - if you were to stitch another?

Thanks Shirlene. Please tell your friend to hang in there. This was my first embroidered quilt and hence my "learning" quilt. I had also never stippled before attempting this quilt. What colour has your friend chosen? I would choose more earthy tones - maybe a pink, but a brownish "mushroom" pink. I have done 3 embroidered quilts and they have all been pink! I have moved house and all the walls and carpets are ... pink! It is just too much.

Thanks Sally. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that it was not finished at the time. I have it lying on the floor on the batting and a few pins are visible. I just quilted around the blocks of the quilt.
24342Well, I think it's terrific!! A whole year is a long time, why so long? Is it that hard to do or do you work a job also?? As for the color I like it. Why is it called a Latte quilt?? Did you get all the designs on this site? Are you a member? I haven't joined as yet so I'm very curious... Cathy

I worked on it as well as other things on the side. It is not hard to to - just fiddly because of the 4X4 hoop. The quilt is by Bernina Australia and Kerrie Hay. It was originally done in cofee colours - hence the name "Latte". I did work at the time as a casual school teacher, so I did not work every day.
13WOW it is beautiful and your Mother is a lucky woman to get this from you. **4U
