Oh my goodness! This is exactly what I'm doing right now, for my best friend! She found 63 embroidered panels her dear friend, who died several years ago, had hand embroidered. She asked me to make 7 quilt tops for her 7 granddaughters. What a challenge! but well worth the effort for my friend.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes it is!! 😁

[@stellaunger8568]

God bless you 😁

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

I have some blocks to put into a quilt from a friend, fter watching your show ,you have given me the energy to get busy and finish it. I am 94 and want to finish it NOW . Thank you !😊

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Have fun! You will enjoy it I’m sure. It’s a fun one and goes together quickly.

[@mayg.m.3767]

Great job! I’m sure Mrs Hocutt would be so pleased to see her work exposed into this beautiful quilt that will be loved for the family for years. Thank you for sharing.

[@shannabauer]

Oh my gosh, someone really spent quite a bit of time doing absolutely beautiful embroidery. I am glad that the folks are making this into a heirloom quilt. Hands down favorite block was the unfinished one, It is wonderful that they included it in the quilt. Love that it was quilted around the embroidery. Great video! Thank you.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

I totally agree! Thanks

[@PetraRobinson-gm8nh]

Very beautiful, and thank you for showing us. The family will treasure this quilt forever.

[@carolchampagne7648]

I enjoyed your video very much. I ama 68 yrs. old and have been embroidering since I was 9. For the past 30 years, I have concentrated on crewel embroidery. I have done some quilting and enjoyed it, but not as much as embroidery. However, when my husband retired a few years ago, he took up quilting with a passion. To my surprise he did an excellent job. We have been thinking about combining our skills and making wall hangings with a crewel embroidered center, and a quilt of a compatible pattern surrounding it. Your video wasn't exactly what we are considering doing, but it was encouraging. Thank you so much.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes! Combine them. It would be beautiful!!

[@mymai5859]

That's a lovely shade of green the family chose for the sashes. It makes the embroidered squares pop. Great work

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Thanks!

[@pamstrong8709]

I am so glad I found you! In a bag of fabric, and projects in various stages of completion, donated to my charity sewing group, I found several embroidered teacup blocks. All were embroidered with the maker's name. I have been looking for an idea to put them together...NOW I have one! Thank you so much for the inspiration.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yay!!! I hope you have fun with it.

[@susangaulhooper5094]

I love the binding explanation, especially the two inch piece used at the end to join the ends together

[@kakylong2]

Wow! That was a lot of work Ms. Lois put into those squares. I've never pieced my backing before to put a label on. I usually turn under the edges of the label & sew it directly to the quilt back before hand quilting. I like how the 10th piece was the label. Awesome idea. 😊

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

I usually do that too but since I had a square she made this way seemed more appropriate for this project. 😁

[@M-hc9xm]

What a great project with the combo of craft skills! I can see this would also be a great up cycle of a vintage tablecloth.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes!!

This video is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have two partially done tops that I started at a quilt retreat many years ago with my Mom. She’s now gone and along with those two pieces she gifted me her all of her quilt material. It’s been so emotional just looking at the fabric never mind completely overwhelmed at what to with it all. My plan was to make a quilt or throw pillows for each of my 5 siblings. Thank you so much for sharing your work. ❤️🇨🇦

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

So sorry to hear about your mom. What a treasure to finish the quilt though. You should! You would be glad you did. It’d be hard to do though. I know.

[@marcellarodriguez7955]

I’m having the same feelings about my mom’s unfinished quilts and embroidery. Hop to one day complete them as gifts also

[@debramccafferty2918]

I’ve made a couple of baby quilts with my embroidered blocks. I like being able to combine my love of embroidery with my love of quilting.

[@marinaabad4995]

Wonderful and beautiful memory quilt. I have been doing a few with hand embroidered pieces left by my relatives. Embroidered pieces need Pellon Shapeflex on the back, just like a T-shirt/baby clothes quilt. It stabilizes the embroidery stitches and prevents distortion of the embroidery. This method is used by most memory quilters and kits that combine hand embroidery and pieced blocks.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Depending on the piece, yes. These didn’t need anything as they were sturdy.

[@barbarameehan113]

Great tutorial. I have an embroider ing machine and have lots of blocks. Great ideas.

[@tieshabanks6029]

That is absolutely beautiful. I am learning so much about quilting from you. I need to practice binding some on some potholders so that I can bind a quilt one day. Thanks for your tutorials.

Hello this quilt turned out so nice, i like all the embroidery designs. Even the sashings were a perfect choice in color. Of course the quilting was beautiful also. The client is really going to be happy with the way this turned out. Thanks for taking the time to show it step by step the process along the way. I too have some Brazilian embroidered pieces. That someday I'm going to put into a quilt. I will keep this video to help me remember the process. Looking forward to your next video.

Thank you so much 😊 The customer was thrilled!! I hope when you make yours you send a picture. We’d love to see yours! Have fun with it. Thanks for watching.

[@epemcarter]

This is beautiful🎉 what a great job you have done with the treasure.. I have a friend that I am helping with something similar from her grandmother. Would you ever consider adding stabilizer to the embroidered blocks to had some protection for the embroidery?

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes if it needed it. These particular blocks did not. I have added P44F to the back of some in the past. Worked great.

[@user-vk9ey7ys1b]

I have squares that my grandmother made for me when I was born. I have several granddaughters and want to do something for each There are fifteen to be divided by nine granddaughters One granddaughter already has one but wanted to just frame it These were made prior to Aug 1945

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Awesome!!! What are you going to do with the rest of them?

[@DawnAtCusterCottage]

I am always given every scrap of fabric when I take a quilt to a longarmer.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes! I do the same. I believe all longarmers return the extra material. Did someone not? If you’re taking about the excess I put on the quilt for the label and for rolling it on the machine, I did not charge the customer for that so it was my material. Just to be clear.

[@krisvanallen]

I’ve never seen a long arm to quilt. I was intrigued that the quilt top was as loose as it was.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

It wasn’t loose. Video might make it look that way. Not sure. But it is somewhat tight.

[@krisvanallen]

@@sewcharmingquiltshop thanks for the explanation!

[@pamharmon5397]

I have squares that belong to my aunt that she embroidered, but she had put batting in between and a backing on each piece now I’m trying to figure out how to do the Quilt since she embroidered through all pieces. I hope that makes sense. I’m just trying to get an idea how to make the quilt with these blocks done this waythank you

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

I’ve not seen them done that way but i guess it’s like a quilt as you go quilt.

[@marshalucky]

I have a box of moms, hankies. Will I need to use deco to stablelize the hankies?

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

If they are thin, yes.

[@marleneclausen30]

This is why I have a huge design wall AND take a photo every time I complete a row. The camera always sees what I don’t.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes that is true!!

[@annr3534]

I might have missed it, but how wide were the sashing strips? And how wide do you cut your binding strips? I have started doing redwork embroidery blocks to make into a quilt one day. This quilt you made is beautiful! Thanks so much for the tutorial, which was clear and concise.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Thank you! I did my dashing 2 1/2 inches wide. I also do my binding that same size.
