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

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

@benitaskinner.bsky.socialOf course I’m stitching today! ☺️🪡🧵
Anyone else?

@benitaskinner.bsky.socialAnother 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. 🪡🧵

@benitastory.bsky.socialDone 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
@benitaskinner.bsky.socialPretty 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.

@benitaskinner.bsky.socialFor those interested in how I added the eyelet, to the edge of my Bits & Bobs quilt, I’ve posted a video today. 🪡🧵
@benitaskinner.bsky.socialI’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! 🪡🧵

@benitaskinner.bsky.socialStitching 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 😂
🪡🧵
@benitaskinner.bsky.socialI 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. 👏🪡🧵
@benitaskinner.bsky.socialSuch pretty scenes on these toile scrap pieces – trimmed from the backing fabric, of my Bits & Bobs quilt. 😍🪡🧵
@benitaskinner.bsky.socialI’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. 🥰👏🤩
@sherylbender.bsky.socialWorking on some tiny stitching.
This piece will be stunning once completed ♥️😁🪡
I love the little boat!

@benitaskinner.bsky.socialThis 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! 😊🪡🧵
@benitaskinner.bsky.socialThe Blue Buttons card, with more of my favourite vintage buttons. 🥰🪡🧵
@benitaskinner.bsky.socialSome tiny wool circles + beads =
A pretty cluster of flowers! ☺️👏🪡🧵
@benitaskinner.bsky.socialAnother piece for my quilt.
I got very lucky 🍀 with the spacing of the cross-stitch border, working out just right – as if I planned it! ☺️🙏
I had a plan B, if it hadn’t worked out…but I’m chuffed that it did. 👏🪡🧵
