Cassie loves Red

Friends Around the World

Friends Around the World
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Children

Style: Traditional, Classic


Materials

Red and white fabrics and machine embroidery.

What was your inspiration?

My granddaughter, Cassandra, love the color Red and I had these wonderful designs of children around the world, a perfect compliment to the red and white fabrics.

What are you most proud of?

How well it turned out and that my granddaughter loved it. This was only my second quilt and all on my own, although I did have someone else stipple it.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Find all your red and white fabrics first, I had a hard time as most of the of what I found was either Christmas or Valentine. Since then, of course, I've seen plenty!

@Marlenegd...the embroidery was done by an embroidery machine. There are patterns called Redwork that will give you the same look and are hand embroidered. Any simple outline design, like from a coloring book, will work and the stitch is a stem stitch. If you Goggle Redwork designs you should find many many of them. Regards, Ann Nora
