Meadow 2021 mini beaded quilt wallhanging...WIP...work in progress.
Started this mini beaded quilt few weeks ago.
It is hand sewn , hand quilted using Sulky cotton threads in yellow and primary colors.
Floral cotton quilt fabric is from a floral scrap bag bought in 2019 online at www.equilter.com
Most of my quilt fabric and quilt notions I buy at Equilter online they have lovely fabrics of good quality. Been buying from them since think was 2007 few years after I got online.
Adding glass seed beads and firepolish beads and stitching around the small flowers with Sulky cotton thread.
Each time work like 22 minutes on it.
My fabric stash is small compared to what I see in USA quilt/sewing rooms. But for Europe where I live I would be seen as a lot. I have the stash in part of the sitting room wall unit, 3 1 square foot sections. With space left in each.
The beads I use are leftovers from my beads stash of many years beading and making beaded jewelry. Most are from www.beadaholique.com and www.fusionbeads.com
One day I looked at this pretty fabric and I knew what I would make with it.
