I'm still working on my pottery shapes piece. I really love the effect the hand stitching creates. I am using two strands of DMC floss on the shapes. I picked colors that closely match the fabric used. Since I cross stitch too, I have quite a stash of DMC floss. For the background I used three different variegated colors of 12 weight Sulky cotton. Here is a detail shot.
I still need to finish stitching the brown vase, the right most one. I'm not sure how I want to finish the edges, traditional binding, zig-zag stitch, pillowcase with another backing fabric and cover my stitches, ...

Hi Lynn,
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I posted this on my blog and was going to e-mail it to you, but then when I clicked on your name, it took me to your blog. Cool! Can you tell I'm new to this? Anyway, here's what I posted:
I appreciate it! What's your blog, so I can check it out. :-) I am totally addicted to podcasts, too. I discovered them when Alex Anderson started hers, and now I listen to hers (when she posts them), Jean's, and Pat's regularly. Have you found Bonnie McCaffery's podcasts yet? They are video podcasts, and they are awesome! Bye for now, Stephanie
I love your pottery quilt. You obviously hand-stitch your quilting. Very impressive. I have a new blog to follow. ;-)
Lynn, the quilt is stunning! Being an addicted knitter, I haven't quilted, but seeing that makes me think about it.
