Embroidery on Janome machine using Madeira embroidery thread
Fabric - brush cotton for the backing and bound edges - cotton polyester for the top.
Ribbons and bows from card-making stash
The entire quilt - I basically marked the fabric into four quadrants and then using my embroidery hoop I embroidered something in each quadrant. I repeated the cat because I know mum and dad to be, like cats and then added the puppy and the sheep. See below for better close-up of each quadrant.
Because this is for a little baby I like the tone on tone look so have been sparing with my use of colour. I may well add some more pink bows (yes they know its a girl) but will see where my creative juice take me tonight.
Oh this is so precious!. I have to start on a "paper Dolls "quilt for our darling Riley for her second birthday in Nov.I made one for Sadie so Riley will be expecting one too (ha!ha!)
