This one was hard for me. I wasn't able to get my lines straight and my curly weren't so great either. More practice needed.

Art Quilt

I have finished my second Stupendous Stitching quilt. I love hand and machine embroidery and Carol Ann Waugh Technique is fun and relaxing. If you are interested in learning her technique` check out her class on Craftsy click here

Couching added

Machine stitching added

Hand embroidery

My husband said the arrows remind him of turkey tracks,

the triangles of cobble stones,

the variegated random small lines of school of fish

and the orange chain stitch of a winding stream.

What do you think?

Trimmed and finishing edge

Thank you for stopping by and looking.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust,and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

Isaiah 12: 2,3

Quilty stuff

After watching "The Quilt Show" Episode 1011 – Stupendous Stitching (Carol Ann Waugh)
I made this small piece.

I am looking forward to making some more quilted art pieces using Carol Ann's technique, I love machine and hand embroidery stitching and combining them together is lots of fun.

My next piece is a quilt postcard using Ricky Tims' Primitive Rail Fence block that he taught on "The Quilt Show" # 1013

Next is another post card.
