Alphabet Quilt
I’ve started a new project – an alphabet sampler quilt. The alphabet sunbonnet designs are from here. The fabric for the applique is from here.
Each of the alphabet blocks will be 15cm by 15cm – once they’re all made I’ll think about borders etc.
In case you’re interested, I used Robinson Anton Rayon embroidery thread, the base fabric is white homespun and I’ve stabilised with calico (I bought a roll from Spotlight)
I will finish the mod 9 quilt I just need a bit of time when Misses A and P aren’t around, so I can lay it out and pin it.

Mod 9 Backing
I’ve sewn the backing together for this quilt.
There was quite a bit of cutting involved. Each of the large purple stripes consists of two parts and the thinner spotty stripes weren’t quite wide enough, so I needed to added extra purple bits on the end.
All the fabric came from my stash!
I then went to this shop and bought 100% cotton batting.
Now for the quilting …

Machine Embroidery – Multi Hooping – I Did It!
I have an embroidery sewing machine. It’s largest hoop is 200mm by 140mm (not including the gigahoop). I’ve always wanted to embroider a larger area and finally I did. I used Embird (to create the design and print the template) and a clothsetter (to place the fabric accurately in the hoop).
I made a birth sampler for Miss A (I removed her name and birth date from the above image for obvious reasons). It measures 35cm by 35cm and took 7 hoopings.
I will write a tutorial about my method (because I searched and couldn’t find anything particularly helpful).
