Dare to Dresden Blog Hop

Published on by Bumbleberry Stitches

Yay! Today’s my day. Thanks to Christine over at Quilt Monster In My Closet for cheerleading this hop and to Mdm Samm as well!

I have to admit that I have never done a dresden plate before. I actually like them and I think I’ll probably do more now that I think I got the hang of it. This dresden wall hanging I designed in my EQ7 program. I had to keep it simple cause I’m still learning how to use my EQ7. 

I used fabrics from my stash and purchased the blue background new. The white fabric was left over from the small wall quilt I made for In Your Words blog hop. I’ve been working hard to resist the urge to buy new fabric and use more from my stash. I wasn’t able to get the brown border on but that is something I do later when I find the right fabric.

For the pedals and the blades I used templates and turned the edges using the starch & press applique method.

 I added some of my machines embroidery stitches to the petals.

The little center Dresden flower is partially fused down to give it a 3d effect.

Thanks for stopping by. Here is today’s schedule. Be sure to visit everyone!

  72. I adore the layering of the Dresdens in your center block. Not only did you layer but you also used different points on the Dresdens for a great effect. You are a very talented designer and to think you claim to be a new user of EQ. WOW! The fabrics are beautiful, too. Thank you for participating in the blog hop and inspiring me and I'm sure many others also.
