Seven months and 10 days after I started the first stitch of my Solstice Dreams project, I have finished it. This was a project that my sister @janinemehrtens who lives in Australia and I were both making.
The pattern was from Kerry Stitch Designs. and was made up of various sized felt blocks featuring wool felt applique and embroidery.
I have shown some of the same blocks we did, but how our own styles and tastes have made them different. This has been a fun project to do, even if I had a few upsets with incorrectly sized blocks I had to redo. Both have been packaged up ready to be sent to Leeanne at QuiltmeKiwi to work her quilting magic on them.
well didn't that turn out lovely!!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely creations. Is it the photos, or has Janine used a slightly overall darker palette to yours?
ReplyDeleteWe both had the same colour background felt, then used felts and fabrics from out stashes, so both quilts will be a little different in colour.
DeleteBoth very nice work. I love felt to work with.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous embroidery and colors!
ReplyDeleteI like the comparison, both are well done.
Congratulations to you and your sister on finishing your project.
They are both beautiful Julie, can't wait to see Leeannes magic touch on them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another great project finish Julie. I have really enjoyed watching this one grow. Your stitching is impeccable! They will look awesome once they are quilted! Leeanne does such beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both!!! The embroidery is wonderful, and no waiting to see what magic Leeanne works with both.
ReplyDeleteDon't they both look fabulous! Some subtle differences. Looking forward to quilting them both!
