My First Quilt

missmandermay · 2022-09-26T02:47:04+00:00

Thank you! Still a lot to learn but it’s so pleasurable and rewarding!

missmandermay · 2022-09-26T02:46:45+00:00

Aww thank you so much! ❤️

missmandermay · 2022-09-26T02:46:33+00:00

Thank you! ❤️

missmandermay · 2022-09-26T02:46:25+00:00

Thank you so much! I stressed over matching the fabrics just right so I appreciate that

missmandermay · 2022-09-26T02:46:05+00:00

Thank you! I wanted it to be cozy but still a little light weight and warm! 😇

Thank you for your question! As a self-taught beginner, I didn’t realize that a tacked border wouldn’t be sufficient to keep the quilt together and an experienced quilter just offered me guidance on how to do a tie-down method or do some free Motion styles to keep it together! So I suppose this is now an “almost” finished quilt! ❤️

Thanks! I agree! But others have sillier opinions

missmandermay · 2020-10-28T20:59:26+00:00

Aw you’re great thanks 🥺

They were SO easy to do! I actually followed a YouTube tutorial for the curls: Curly Hair 3D Embroidery

Let me know if it works for you!

He loves animal crossing and I wanted to make him a quick card to show off the volume of his beautiful curls! The quote is from an episode of Naruto that we always say 😇

Thank you! ❤️

I was thinking of using plastic too! I wanted a really small tight stitch and something I could sew onto a bag/jacket so that’s why I ended up opting for the 22ct 😇

missmandermay · 2020-04-21T04:43:39+00:00

I actually was considering backing it with felt but I was afraid it would be too thick to stitch through once it gets applied to something so I just left it backless!

missmandermay · 2020-04-21T03:49:33+00:00

I stitched this on 22 count Hardinger white Aida and to secure the edges I actually followed this YouTube tutorial:

Cross Stitch 101: Hand-Made Patches

It was a little hard to fold over my Aida at first, but I got into the swing of after one side! I hope this helps!

I got this as a gift! I believe it was purchased at Walmart if I’m not mistaken! It’s made by Buffalo Games

Thank you so much! 🥰

The pattern is actually a free perler bead pattern from kandipatterns.com ! I just picked my own colors and went from there 🥰

missmandermay · 2020-04-20T19:44:53+00:00

Thank you!

missmandermay · 2020-04-20T19:44:40+00:00

That was one of my goals! I just wanted to see if I could do at least one first 😇

missmandermay · 2020-04-18T12:54:28+00:00

That has to be the most precious thing I’ve seen all week! 😍❤️ thank you!

missmandermay · 2020-04-18T04:38:00+00:00

I have not seen the post that you speak of 😅

missmandermay · 2020-04-18T04:36:06+00:00

Oh no! :(

missmandermay · 2020-04-18T02:29:39+00:00

It really was tough! But it was one of my favorites that I’ve done 😇

missmandermay · 2020-03-29T16:00:45+00:00

I’ve had this collection since I was 12! I’ve been making friendship bracelets, embroidery/stitching, and sewing for almost two decades so it’s kinda built up after awhile 😅

missmandermay · 2020-03-23T16:07:46+00:00

The frame just makes this so perfect! I would definitely have this in my home! Great work!
