I wanted to send in a picture to you of a lap quilt that I finished using your redwork pioneer designs and could not find a place to do this. I see other people have sent in pictures. My sister who is going on 60 needed a lap quilt and this one is the first that I have done in redwork. Thanks again.
You did a great job on this quilt Love it !!
For a first lap quilt you did a beautiful job, Sandy. Your sister will cherish it forever.
Beautiful quilt! I know your sister will love it!
Nicley done… sure it will be enjoyed.
Very nice, I like the patterns and I really like one-color linework too. She will really enjoy having that.
Sandy,
You did an excellent job. I know your sister must really love it.
Excellent job Sandy, your sister is very lucky to have a caring Sister like you.
Very nice quilt. Nice of you to make this for your sister.
Your lap quilt is lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Your quilt is beautifuland will be loved by your oh so lucky sister.
Really nice – love the idea of the on point blocks and the skinny sashing – really sets them off! thanks for sharing.
Very nice, just one question. Did you embroider the squares and then assemble or did you assemble the quilt and use the redwork for the quilting? It is hard to tell in this picture?
Sandy, your quilt is lovely. I’m sure your sister was thrilled.
very nice. I am curious did yu use white in the bobbin? Some say that is better & looks more like hand. I have tried both to me not a lot of difference.
very nice, good job and setting on point realy makes it look nice.
Beautiful lap quilt. Your sister should really appreciate the time you put into this.
That is so pretty. I would like to make one like this. Did you make up your pattern or where did you find the pattern for the quilt?
I think the quilt is beautiful. I also have done a redwork quilt but I used blue instead since the rest of my quilt was in blues & white. If you would like to see my quilt it is at DesignsBySiCK.com Embroidery Forums > All Albums > 1allamericangirl’s Profile.
Keep up the good work.
This is an awesome quilt!!! Very NICE!!!
Very nice, I love Redwork, I espically like them set on point.
Thank you all for your wonderful comments on the quilt. I love the designs that Designs By Sick have. They stitch out with such ease.
In answer to the questions on the pattern, I just started laying square on the floor and then put them in the order in which I wanted to sew the squares. I didn’t have a pattern. For the triangles I just cut the square in half, for the four corners, I cut one of the squares in quarters. I sewed the squares and strips together and then put the embroidery designs on them, then went on to complete the quilt. I used red thread in the bobbin I wanted to make sure that the designs didn’t have any white that might pull through. Since I was sewing on white, I thought red would do a better job. It was easier to do it that way for me. You can use any size square that you want and any size stripping to get the look that you like.
I *love* the pattern. I was wondering what to do with these types of designs. What a great idea. I love all these designs and I’m having so much fun on this site
Sandy, Out of a huge curiosity, was your mother Joyce Holman, a Home Economics teacher in Michigan? If so, she was one of my favorite teachers and I really enjoyed her sewing classes when I was in Jr. High.
