Quilt square: Birthday


I wanted a quilt square to represent the day Ivy was born. We'd just started seeing crocuses emerge, and then a huge blizzard hit. I used a piece of white fabric for the background that reminded me of branches covered with snow, then appliqued purple and yellow crocuses on top. I call it "Birthday."

Birth video coming tomorrow...I'm so excited to share it. I managed to edit it to 20 minutes total (down from almost 50 minutes of footage).

  3. I can't wait for the video. My (almost) six year old and I love to watch birth videos together. How did you do the embroidery on your square? Was that an applique stitch on your machine? it looks great!

  4. I used a medium width zig-zag stitch for the edges of the applique and a wider zig-zag for the leaves. I have an applique stitch on my machine but I always end up using the zig-zag instead.
