Doing some slow stitching….

Many of my sewing friends have completed Sue Spargo projects. I have always been in awe of the beautiful hand stitching effects they have created…..so I decided to give it a go.
A small Sue Spargo project ‘Rooted’ fitted the bill. I really enjoyed learning how to embroider using Sue Spargo techniques and guidelines. I found it a lovely, relaxing pastime to create texture and colour. The finished quilt is a bright, happy addition to my sewing room.
The machine quilting was a way of putting my own mark on the design. I tried to use the quilting to add extra texture and patterns.
