Renata, I did what Janet did on her quilt. I shadow quilted all the letters around the border. If you follow the machine embroidery every so often is a letter. It's very subtle, but looks great on the quilt. The "a" starts on the left side by the tree and then goes around with the "z" ending back on the left border tree.
Thanks for the lovely comments.

WOW!!! Sharon, this is gorgeous. You have inspired me to get back to mine. Still need to do blue borders with applique', etc., etc. but your cross hatching is so great I can't wait to give it a try myself. Good luck at the show you've entered this in. Sure looks like a big winner to me!

Hi Sharon, I love the shadow quilted letters on your quilt (all the quilting is beautiful), how did you do the shadow quilting for the letters on the border? I put off the quilting on my 2014 BOM, however it's going really well and not as daunting as I thought it would beGood Luck in the show, it looks like a winner to me.
Best wishes Pam

Thanks Pam for the lovely comments. I actually scrutinized Janet's quilt and got on Word on my computer and started playing with fonts that could be quilted easily. I then printed them, cut them out and then traced them on the quilt. I made them big enough to see. I believe for the a, c, etc. they were about 1" big and then, of course, the d, f, h letters were bigger than 1", probably 2" when all quilted. For the letters that had holes, i.e., d, o, p, etc. I did stipple in those areas to recede that part. Also after I quilted the letter I went around it very closely as an outline, probably less than 1/8". That way when I did the stippling, it had somewhere to rest and not get "into" the letter. I hope this makes sense. I will look through my pictures and see if there is a better closeup of a letter or two to show you. Its interesting to hear people at the shows, go "Oh, she quilted letters into the border" because you don't see them until you get up close.

Lois, Janet is a fantastic expert.
Beverly, one thing about this quilt is it fussy, meaning lots of details and it drove me crazy. I need to get it out to lay out for the fair coming up and will try to take some close up pictures. Mine is by no means perfect, but very happy with it.

Sharon thank you so much for the details, photos and explaining how to shadow quilt the border letters, your help is very much appreciated. This was such a lovely quilt to make and now I am enjoying quilting it. More pictures would be terrific but I am more than grateful for your help.
Best Wishes Pam

You already know how much I love your quilt, Sharon!
Thought I would pipe up with another idea for marking the letters for quilting. What I would probably try instead of marking, would be to print the letters on freezer paper and cut them out. Then iron them on the quilt and quilt around the freezer paper. Then you don't have to mark and it's really easy to see the edges of the letters since you can print them in any color that contrasts with the background fabric. Just a thought for others, since I just don't have time to make this quilt myself.

Beverly, I used a Frixion on the cream background and actually used it for the letters too. I did test it first and quilted the letters very carefully. Nancy, that is a great idea for transferring any designs or letters to the quilt. I am entering her in a little quilt show in the park in Berthoud next weekend. Just a fun little show and a car show for the guys.
More pictures in the next few days.
