MarJen for Error Quilt in Pink

I finished my pink version of the MarJen for Error quilt right down to even tacking on the label! I was a little concerned that the fabrics I chose would be too light and just blend together too much. But as I look at in now, finished, I love the soft, delicate look it creates! I just really do love it!

You can see close-up photos here with details on the embroidery and quilting.

I was so delighted when Doreen from Canada shared with me two of her quilted creations!

This is her version of The Color Purple in blue and white. She did not have the cd, but created the designs and embellishment without machine embroidery designs. It was a gift for her granddaughter and she name it so appropriately, “Blue Paradise”. The color contrast and embellishment blocks are just stunning!

This is the Bible Quilt she made for her granddaughter’s wedding. The blocks are stunning when arranged with the black background.

She also created a booklet that corresponded with the quilt. It has a smaller version of the block and tells the Scripture verses that apply to that block pattern. How inventive!!

Thanks so much for sharing, Doreen! Keep up the great work!

Another beautiful BCP embroidered quilt…

Gwen McGinnis sent me a photo of her beautiful Beyond the Color Purple quilt she completed. She used Lakehouse cotton fabrics and burgundy and purple washable velvets and satins. She entered it in the Pigeon Forge Quiltfest and displayed it at the Jonesborough Visitor Center.

Aren’t the color combination gorgeous together? And take a close look at all the stippling and quilting in the blocks and borders. Beautiful, beautiful!!! You did a superb job on your quilt, Gwen!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!

It is always so fun to see how the same quilt pattern can be created with different fabrics and threads. The finished results are spectacular with each and every combination!!

Anyone else have a BCP quilt or other embroidered quilt to share? Email me a photo and some details and I will post it for all of us to enjoy!
