I love how pretty these two pieces look together. 🥰💙🩷

For this embellishment I took three colours of rick rack and wove a tiny mat.
Then added the daisies & ribbon butterfly. 🥰👏💙💛

So many details on this corner, of my Brown & Red mini quilt! 👏
My favourites are the tiny prairie points, fabric covered button on the lace ruff, the red rick rack as a frame & the column of flower buttons!! 🥰🤎❤️

This is a corner of my Black & Red mini quilt.
The fabric I created the playing cards with, inspired the game theme.
Details I love:
The triple coloured rick rack, double layered cotton lace & the card suits featured on the black & white plaid. ☺️👏🖤❤️

Using some lovely blue & white fabric motifs, I made a feature of them, on this mini quilt.
I added lace accents, decorated buttons, and ribbon roses, to fill the vase. 👏🤩💙💛

Two more ways I’ve created embellishments:
The left one is green lace, back to back & slightly overlapped, to make a line for the cross-stitching.
The right one is a band of fabric, with scalloped blanket stitches and buttons.

It’s my personal feeling that there’s no such thing as too many details. 🪡
This corner includes a tassel, vintage buttons, patches, embroidered decals, trims & embroidery. 💚🩷
Always so much fun noticing new things! 🥰

I started with the green grosgrain ribbon.
Added the yellow rick rack, and then wrapped it with green pearl cotton, for this pretty embellishment. 🪡💚💛

I took a bunch of different sized circles of fabric and folded them into hexagons.
On the folded side, added a tiny circle to the center of the hexies and then a few leaves.
Plus stitched some embroidery to finish these pretty flowers. 👏🤩💚🧡

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

#quilting #sewing #handstitching #embroidery #quiltsky

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.
