I love your vintage embroidery and your plan to make a quilt with them. My mother has recently moved to assisted living with worsening dementia. I’m now cleaning out her house and I found a ton of these vintage embroidery pieces in her house. I had no idea she had done these! You have inspired me to create a quilt out of them.
I fell in love with embroidery just recently. I love handwork at night instead of scrolling a phone. In our trip to Florida, I visited a Hobby Lobby and found Sunbonnet Sue and Denim Dan Aunt Martha's iron transfers for .49 on sale........well, I bought them. Going to make a "redworks" quilt with them in all red floss. I transferred the patterns onto peel and stitch wash away papers and going to start on them tonight.
I just picked up 10 of the Aunt Marthas!!! Lots of puppies and kittens, farm, holidays...I want to use muslin and quilt with them, pillowcasing accents too, I'm watching the Waltons and when I break from the sewing machine, I work these. Glad I'm not alone.
I have a pile of quilt blocks I pieced years ago. There's more blocks to do, and eventually I will actually make them into a quilt. And thank you so much because now I want to do a vintage-style embroidery quilt too, even though I've never done any embroidery like this and I DO NOT need any new projects right now!
You could try embroidery on some flour sack dishtowels, just to see if you like it. Those don't take long. (Although I'm kind of convinced we can all sneak in a new project or two or three!)
I'm watching this because I've just purchased an Aunt Martha's days-of-the weeks kittens design this week, & I can't wait to begin! And they are so affordable still.
Those are great. I'm planning to start a never-ending project, it's my first sampler I'm designing, with a view to it growing and being added to until the whole fabric is covered
I look forward to seeing you put together all those blocks, Michele. You’ve got so much done! Glad you had something to keep you sane at a difficult time of your life. Do you plan to use slashing at all when you put them together?? Edit: S/B: Do you plan to use “sashing”? (darn autocorrect!😣)
I knew what you meant -- even before the edit! I don't plan on using traditional sashing, although I have a feeling I might insert some strips of white fabric to help things line up when the time comes.
I don't think I've ever seen hand embroidery on fluffy bath towels. They make (or made) towels with bands of aida for cross stitch -- maybe you could sew in a panel to stitch on?

I'd love to see what you wind up making!
I absolutely love these. So sweet. So adorable. So fun.
Thank you! I had an absolute blast stitching them.

Love the retro look 😍
Retro embroidery is one of my absolute favorite things. Especially if it's stuff with faces.

You are fun to watch/listen to.
Thank you.
Such a cute idea! I would love to make one of these too with my collection of embroidery patterns, thanks for showing all yours!

THAT sounds fun! I'd love to see it.
@@romantictangle when I've done a decent amount I'll tag you on Instagram
