The Second Quilt for Stella
In the post from May I wrote about modern quilting and showed a quilt that I had made for my new puppy Stella. Even if I have not written a lot about quilting, I have spent quite a lot of time browsing modern quilt blogs and even sewing a little. Now I have finally something to show, it’s a new quilt for Stella, a modern quilt that also has some ribbons and lace.
I am so pleased with this. First, I love the colors. Second, it was a good choice to use double wadding to make the quilting more visible. Third, I think I was able to incorporate laces and ribbons in a creative way. Fourth, I so enjoyed the process of making this! I did not use a lot of time for planning. I had a vision of expressing vintage childhood and vintage linens and it lead the way.
This is a little detail that I love the most: I hand embroidered Stella’s name to a small antique lace square!
And she loves the quilt, of course!
A Modern Quilt for The New Puppy
I have not been able to write here for a couple of weeks. I have a big project going on. And I am not talking about this quilt!
I am talking about the owner of the quilt!
She is my new beagle puppy Stella! As you can see from the pictures, see appreciates my hard work for the quilt.
I made the quilt from scraps that I found in the closet. I used to make a lot of quilts many years ago. Then I stopped. The reason was the lack of time to make really artistic detailed hand embroidered quilts and the lack of inspiration to make traditional ones. But now I have found a new trend: modern quilting! I am so excited!
Stella wishes a long and warm summer to all of you! See you soon!
