Today is my day to show you the bowls that I made for the Bowls With Borders Blog Hop.
(The dates for this hop are August 13 through August 28.)
First of all, I want to thank Regina for making such a fun pattern and sharing it
I also want to thank the organizers, Madame Samm from Sew WE Quilt
and Carol from Just Let Me Quilt.
Here is the mini quilt that I made using Regina's pattern for paper piecing!

I added a little embroidery on the chili bowls in different colors and
then I hand stitched using the same threads.
I always enjoy seeing how the stitches look on the back,

ReplyDeleteWow, that had stitching adds just the right touch to your bowls!!! I never quite know how to "finish" a project, you know, how to quilt it, embellish it. But I like the idea of colored thread lines you added. Being a stitcher too, I may incorporate some thread colors in my plain ole white background. Thanks for being a part of the hop. I am learning all kinds of things!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice embroirery on the bowls, it's a good idea!
