First standard size Quilt Embroidery effort: My NeedleworkMonday

in NeedleWorkMonday4 years ago

Hi needle artists, let's meet again on another #needleworkmonday.

Can you recall me? This is @tasri from Bangladesh. You may know that I am a learner. And I got this platform as a great learning media. I had no idea about needleworks. But due to coronavirus pandemic, I had to stay home for a long time untill now. So I decided to do some creative works for passing some quality time.

I found this community and be inspired to do some local traditional needleworks. I have had some experienced guide around me as my mother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and many other persons. They have huge experiences about embroidery work. And this perform also helped me to do some creative works. That's why I started with a lot of confidence and desire to learn more.

I have shared some of my original hand made embroidery works with sequences of procedures how to make that designs on some of my previous posts of #needleworkmonday and other communities also as follows:

Today I am going to share another embroidered quilt design that I have recently done.


My new needlework

If you visit my previous needleworks from the links provided above, you will be informed that I used to do needle work on quilt specially for my newborn baby. It had two purposes as..

  • A newborn baby requires lot of quilt. I fullfilled that demand as well as my practice was going on.
  • The second important thing was the size of the quilt. As a needle worker I am new, so it is quite easy for me to do embroidery on a small quilt.

It was a quilt prepared for my personal use. I prepared it and then embroidered on the body of the quilt. It was a purple colour cloth that I folded with double layer and then stitched to make a bit heavier.

After making the basic quilt I was a little bit confused about which colour would match with that purple colour quilt.

As it was my first standard size quilt, I tried to put my best efforts to complete it perfectly. Now you will judge my needleworks.

03. EMBROIDERY

The sewing was done according to the design drawn on the ground of the empty cloth. I host normal long stitches with a little bit gap to full feel the inner side of the design.

Full of the quilt design was completed by the same type of simple stitching. It took about two weeks to complete the whole design by me.

Your embroider is amzaing and I love the colors you have chosen: the violet fabric and the bright yellow are my favorite combo. Your stitching is so beautiful and precise. How long did you work on this quilt?

It took about two weeks to do the embroidery only. Thanks for your praises.
