“Quilts are stories well told, one stitch at a time.” 🪡

I talk about decorating a quilt binding with embroidery & more, in this week’s video! 🌟🤩

I think a running stitch, along the binding, also adds so much charm! 🪡🧵

Decorating the binding, with embroidery, can add a wonderful detail to a quilt.
I used cross-stitches on this polka dot binding.

Using fabric with texture can add a lot to #appliqué.
I made this teddy bear using terry cloth, for its fuzzy coat. 👏🥰 🧸

Another way I’ve used seam binding to add a decorative detail to a quilt, was stitching a daisy trim on top, and then taking a stitch to scallop the binding around the flowers. 🪡🧵

Done with the 1st spool of thread, and am continuing with a cone of the same thing. I'm on row 8 out of 24, so I won't run out of thread again on this project. #quiltsky #quilting #quilt #drunkardspath #quiltingthread #benitamakes #handquilting #handsewing #handstitching #handquilted #handstitched

Pretty embellishing details, can add so much to a quilt. 🪡🧵
For this one, I used teal seam binding along the edge and embroidered it with a feather stitch, and pink French Knots as the rose buds.

For those interested in how I added the eyelet, to the edge of my Bits & Bobs quilt, I’ve posted a video today. 🪡🧵

I’ve been keeping the spools of threads I’m using, for a current quilt, in a small basket, near my comfy sewing chair.
This morning, when spotting my antique spool holder, I wondered why I don’t use it?
It would make pulling a length of thread, so easy! 🪡🧵

Stitching the eyelet edge, on my Bits & Bobs quilt will take a while - I didn’t even get one half, of one side done yesterday!
It really is #slowstitching 😂

I just finished basting the eyelet lace in place, around the edge of the Bits & Bobs quilt…
It’s so much lovelier than I imagined it would be, and the perfect frame for this quilt. 👏🪡🧵

Such pretty scenes on these toile scrap pieces – trimmed from the backing fabric, of my Bits & Bobs quilt. 😍🪡🧵

I’ve enjoyed coming up with many different embellishments for this quilt.
These include yo-yos (Suffolk Puffs) made with special fabrics, like taffeta, looking extra pretty with a vintage button. 🥰👏🤩

Working on some tiny stitching.

This piece will be stunning once completed ♥️😁🪡

I love the little boat!

I love how the skeleton turned out! 😍

This is one of my favourite fabrics I have!
The sweet tiny blue flowers & butterflies… 👏🥰
It’s why it’s been included on this quilt, featured in one of the folded frame pieces.

Almost done! 😊🪡🧵
