DIY Quilt at The Featherweight Shop ~ Part 3

Welcome back to the "Do It Yourself" Sew Along! I don't know about you, but I love it when I get to the part of seeing the fabric combinations coming together.

Part 6: I've been stitching away on my Lori Holt version of A Quilter's Dream, and it has been fun to work with all the colors this time around. The embroidery has been coming along quite rapidly. We used the Quilter's Dream Pattern for our Singer Featherweight Embroidery Stitch Along Series.

DIY Quilt at The Featherweight Shop ~ Part 1

Featherweight Embroidery: Part 3 ~ Piecing the Border

Part 3 ~ The next step is to remove all the tracing marks, so I sprayed it well with water. It's always fun to see the blue lines disappear. It makes the whole project look so much tidier too.  We used the Quilter's Dream pattern for our Featherweight Embroidery Stitch Along Series.
