Birchen quilt - AGF stitched

Birchen quilt top

I had a pleasure of being part of an amazing group of people creating the Birchen quilt, which is a new and exciting collaboration between Fat Quarter shop and Art Gallery Fabrics, called AGF Stitched.
You can find out a bit more about that collaboration HERE.

You can watch the entire clip here:



and get the pattern HERE
 
Of course, I wanted to do something, mixing both of my lines:
Indelible and Recollection.

Finally into something new and exciting!!! #RecollectionFabrics #indeliblefabrics #artgalleryfabrics  #quilt #fabrics

I really loved the pattern, and appreciated very much Kimberly's suggestions and methods (like doing HSTs with triangles on a roll ) and I highly recommend it.
You can see many variations of this pattern, in combinations of beautiful AGF fabrics, just go to this post, to discover them all.
There is also an Aurifil giveaway included, so be sure to enter it!

Cross stitched rose hoop

The progress made on my #pixelrose #cross-stitch #hoop. Hopefully it will be finished soon☺️ #aurifil #floss #embroidery #craft

During this Xmas period, we were visiting my husband's family in Italy.
It was the great opportunity for me to enjoy some spare time and do some stitchery.
I used my Pixel rose quilt pattern as guide to create this stitched piece.

Here is the finished piece:


And all the gorgeous floss, the numbers:

2530

I am not sure if I ever shared the stitched banner I did for my Recollection wall (for the Quilt Market in Houston), as that was the opportunity to get all the beautiful matching Aurifil floss.

This #cross #stitching piece is one that took most of my time ( more than quilt making!) and it was left unfinished , just partly done...but I was able to use all of the gorgeous shades of #aurifil #floss and it made me so happy

Here is the corner of the banner, unfinished (it took so much time to stitch and I had to send it over to US), that was the great excuse to attach the gorgeous wooden Aurifloss spools to it.

The image was previously printed on the cloth, and it gave me a good base for the cross stitching.
Hope that you feel inspired:)
