A is for Acorn

10/7/2016

 
Electric Quilt Stitch Tutorial
F is for Fall Quilt Design by Kari Schell using Electric Quilt Stitch
Continuing on with the fall Embroidery/Applique quilt.  For this week's Electric Quilt video tutorial I am tracing an acorn from clip art I found on the internet.  This is a great exercise to practice your applique drawing skills.  There are only three simple shapes in the acorn.

I also tried a couple of different fill stitches when digitizing the design in EQ Stitch.  If you don't have EQ Stitch, you could definitely applique the blocks instead of embroidering them.​


Electric Quilt Stitch Video Tutorial
A is for Acorn Finished Block by Kari Schell
Here is my finished block.  I really love the different textures and think they add a lot to the quilt.  After watching the stitch-out, I realized that I really didn't want the acorn satin stitch under the acorn top.  If you look closely you can see the gold edge peaking though the brown fill.  I have some ideas on how to fix that going forward -- but that will need to be a future video.

Here is a pdf of the block if you would like to create the project for your own F is for fall quilt.

Featured Project - Sale on Digital Download of Christmas Presents

Forecasts are calling for 1-3 inches of snow in northern Minnesota and I am commiserating with my northern friends.  Can I make it through the weekend without turning on the heat in my house?  I really hate to turn it on before the end of October. It forces me to acknowledge that winter is approaching.

On the positive side -- if winter is approaching, it means Christmas is coming.

It is definitely time to get started on those quilted Christmas gifts.  Do you need some fun fast projects.  My Christmas Present's pattern is sure to be a hit.
Here are a couple of ideas using my favorite new Christmas fabric line this season -- Scandia.  What Christmas collections are you planning to use this year?

OK, I haven't made these quilts yet.  But I did purchase some of the Scandia collection and I have used them in a quilt that will be released at Fall market.

​Here is a sneak peak.

Happy quilting.

Thank you for helping bring my dormant eq7 alive! I am new to embroidery as well so I purchased the Stitch program to understand more. I love watching you put everything together so I am not as intimidated by it. I am also from MN which makes you a star in my book! I love the Olympic blocks as well, thank you for sharing your talents!
