Your finished quilt.
I love your houses and all the detailed stitching you added. I thought about doing some on my cotton houses—we’ll see. Just took a Sue Spargo class and this would be a good application. Can’t wait to see

Carole, nhbaskets, Your houses are out of this world cute. So perfectly done. You must have a lifetime of embroidery experience
to have such perfect stitches. I have never had any desire to do handwork, but I just can't stop going back and looking at your houses.
So, do you have any recommendations on where to start for someone that has never done it before? I took notes on your thread type.
I believe you said size 8 and 12 pearl cotton. What size needle. Do you have some websites for this type of stitching. If I remember
right you said this is your first quilt. Hard to believe, you are nailing it. Just exquisite. HelenW

Facebook groups taught me about Valdani thread. Prior to that I only knew about DCM floss. For Color my World, I’m using mostly Valdani pearl cotton in size 12, which is basically the weight of two strands of floss, but one thread. Since I only had a few balls that I’d purchased with kits, I took a road trip to a shop in Maine to gather two dozen colors, mostly variegated, as that’s what they mostly had. I also learned that chenille 22 or 24 needles work great with Valdani. When in ME, I picked up Sue Spargo’s Creative Stitching book which is an amazing how-to of stitches I didn’t know existed. Looking forward to practicing many of these and incorporating them into this quilt.
Yes, this is my first quilt. I’m going to lean on my SIL when it comes to needing a sewing machine as the Kenmore I received for college graduation 40+ years ago hasn’t seen the light of day for at least 30 years.
I have a feeling that quilting, and a new machine, will be part of my retirement life in years to come.
