It’s another glorious autumn morning here in Minnesota-the best days of the year! I love all of the motifs of autumn-leaves, trees, pumpkins, corn…
I stitched this Modern Wholecloth Quilt with several Tuesday Tutorials:
This Harvest quilt is small–just 15 inches square, but I know it will be used frequently throughout my house.
I used Aurifil cotton in the bobbin and Sulky 40 wt Rayon in off-white on top–on a Bernina 150, domestic sewing machine, without a stitch regulator.
The acorns are in there, but because I stitched contour lines within the body of the acorns (see options in the Oak Leaf and Acorn tutorial), there is not enough contrast to see them clearly. (I would leave them open next time so they “pop” like the Oak Leaves and The Grid.)
NOTE-Look closely to the left of the image above–an upside down acorn is visible. On the right-the acorn with the contour is stitched, but not visible–not enough contrast….
I’m almost ready for Halloween! Hopefully there’ll be some candy corn left by October 31!?
Happy Harvest Stitching,
Lori
