Aren't red cherries one of the most perfect subjects for embroidery and quilt blocks? They're pretty and cheerful...and quick to stitch. This transfer was from my stash of old ones, so old that the ink didn't do anything but leave a faint red shadow on my square of muslin, just enough that I had to toss it out and trace the image by hand.
I fussed for a while about what color to make the border. I thought of doing it in pale green, or yellow, then pulled out this light gray. I think it gives it the look of an old doily, just perfect for this quilt.
Your cherries look great! Very cute!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love cherry fabrics and embroidery and anything else. How pretty yours is, looks just like it was done on a piece of lace.
ReplyDeleteAnother great block for your vintage embroidered quilt! The light grey was the perfect choice to stitch the border with. It frames the cherries beautifully.
