The photo above is the same piece as the last one I showed, but this time from the front and almost complete.
I wasn't entirely sold on the the darker threads, so only used them a couple of times in the largest doilies, then set them aside. Above (back) and below (front detail) are one of the middle-sized doilies. I really like the swirl effect in the centre of this one; it just evolved as I started quilting - I had no pre-conceived vision of how it would look when done.
The finished table runner is 14 x 40in, and there are 99,000 stitches in it!
As before, it's all hand-guided, free-motion quilting.
I'm linking up with Leah's FMQ Friday.
Oh My goodness that is amazing, I can't believe how wonderful you are.
ReplyDeleteThats so beautiful Emma...How do you count the stitches on your Bernina 820 - Its not something I have learned and would love to know how. Same as I have no idea how to save things, Your FMQ is so fantastic - I bet it took a huge amount of hours?
ReplyDeleteI stumbled on your blog for the first time and really love what you are doing with your 820. I also have one, but have never attempted what you are doing but I think it is beaytiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo great - love the way you are freemotion quilting - looks like a lot of borders....
ReplyDeleteHave a great week end.
These are pretty, and I also like the swirl nature of the center. If you have a picture of the finished piece to share, I'd love to see how you joined them into a table runner : )
