MONTH 8 — Ask Questions Here

[Barbara B.]

Please use this TOPIC to ask questions about month 8.

Your finished quilt turned out beautiful ,Barbara. I am just starting to do the applique and the embroidery. I purchased the thread that was recommended for this project. While doing your embroidery, did you use the 12wt wonderfil thread? If so, did you double the thread and can you recommend a needle? I have very little experience in embroidery.

I wrote a blog about the embroidery here:

I did double the 12 wt Wonderfil and tried several needles to find a size I could easily thread.

Hi Barbara, I would like to know how are the log cabin blocks sewn for the side borders. Is there a specific way to place them when sewing them together?

[Barbara B.]

The pattern says to arrange them so no seams meet each other. The diagrams should give you an idea how that looks.

I tried to attach a picture under show your progress and it showed that I attached it but didn’t show up in my post only a question mark. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Barbara, I’m just wondering if the running stitch around the appliqué flowers stitched prior to quilting or is it part of the hand quilting?
