Fall Embroidery or Applique Quilt

9/30/2016

 
It is finally beginning to feel like fall in Minnesota.  Leaves are starting to turn colors and I am needing to pull out my sweatshirts for more than just the ice rink.

I also love fall fabrics and fall quilts.  In the midst of all my preparation for market, I decided I needed to create a small quilt to celebrate the new season.  Would you like to join me?

For this project, you can choose to either create applique blocks or machine embroidery blocks.  Since I am still having fun playing with EQ Stitch, I will be doing the embroidery version.

If you are not currently using Electric Quilt, I will also provide copies of the line drawings for your use in making the blocks.

Creating the Layout

This first video will show you how to create the layout for the quilt.  The quilt will have only four blocks.  Color the blocks black and the borders in "fall" colors.

Creating the Fall Leaf Block

One of the really cool features of EQ Stitch is how fast it is to create embroidered text.  And you can use any true type fonts on your computer!

This video will share how I created text for the fall quilt.  I also took a motif from the Library, made some minor adjustments and created a stitching design.
Here is my stitched out block.  The design is created in a 4 x 4 hoop.  However I trimmed the block to 5 x 5 to allow for some additional space and the seam allowances.  I had a little bit of a pull issue on the leaf.  So I may need to play a bit more with my embroidery machine - or increase the edge stitching width.

Fall Embroidery Design
F is for Fall Block 1 Designed in EQ Stitch by Kari Schell
Here is a pdf of the block if you wish to applique the block.
Next week I will share the creation of Block 2 for this quilt.

​Featured Product - Come Said the Wind

I am offering a sale on the bundled version of Come Said the Wind which includes the two quilting designs.  The bundle is on sale for $15  (that's 50% off the non-bundled prices).  No digital longarm system -- there are also pdfs of the quilting designs that may be copied and resized.  Best of all you can get started today with downloads of everything.
Piecing Pattern: 
The poem in the quilt was written by George Cooper, an American poet who lived from  1838 – 1927.  The large wall hanging finishes to 33”□, while the small one finishes 15” x 12”.  To make construction easier, many sections in the quilt use over-sized piecing along with specialty rulers. If you cannot find the specialty ruler, instructions are provided for use of traditional rulers. Purchase pattern only here.

Maple Leaf Border Design:  This pattern could be used as a border design or an edge to edge pantograph. 

Maple Leaf Triangle and Point to Point Design:  This pattern could be used as a triangle design or a point to point design to fill a series of setting triangles.  It was specifically designed to complement the Come Said the Wind piecing pattern.  It works great in both miniature and larger triangles.

Purchase BUNDLE here for immediate download.

Love the font and embroidery, and a lovely layout for the runner, so good with the black background.
