We often associate embroidery with medieval times when ladies would pass the time embroidering as they waited for their princes. But there are artists who prove that it’s a modern kind of art. Their works are masterpieces that can add beauty and comfort to a home. It’s impossible not to feel inspired by these beautiful works of art!

It's time my friends! the Valley Song Quilt Pattern is officially here! If you've been around a while...well, since 2017, you may recognize this design. If you're new around here, I'm excited to give you a glimpse of what started Lo & Behold Stitchery. Valley Song is a re-design of the very FIRST pattern I ever created...can you believe it? In 2017, life looked very different for us. I was a full time NICU nurse, Peter worked endless hours in hospitality, we lived in Raleigh, and Lo & Behold Stitchery was just something fun to do on my days off of work. I wanted to create meaningful quilts that not only stood the test of time, but also would be loved by others. I made a goal to design just a few quilts that I wanted to see in my home... I would have never dreamed that this little pattern would be the start of where we are today! It's actually kind of hard to believe that this was the first pattern I wrote! While Valley Song looks simple in construction, there is a lot of math and complexity that went into the different size blocks. Knowing what I now know about pattern design, I'm not really sure how I did it! The Valley Song pattern you see today looks completely different than it did 7 years ago, while still keeping the original design intact. CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE I wanted to make the construction of this quilt a little more simple than the original version, so as an advanced beginner pattern, it's all strips and HSTs. In the early stages of re-writing the pattern, it occurred to me that because of the HSTs, you can create different patterns and designs throughout the quilt. Fun, right?? While Valley Song just touches on a few of these, the possibilities with HSTs are nearly endless! To make this pattern beginner friendly, we went ahead and drafted three different variations of the HST rows and made this pattern what I like to call, a
Here is how I turned a photo into a pattern: Pick a photo of your choice. School photos work very well as the lighting is good and the face is usually without shadows Use any photo editing software of your choice. There are lots of free software available online. I use Picnik. Use the posterize function to get this effect. Play around with the colours until you are happy. I settled on 10 colours. Save the posterized picture and go to the Pencil Sketch function. Without any further editing I got this result. Play around until you are happy with the amount of lines and the clarity of the picture. You can use the picture as is, or further simplify it by hand. I printed the previous picture and traced it against the window (you can use a light table if you are more sophisticated than me!). Here you can make it as simple or as complicated as you wish. I scanned this version into my computer and printed it on to a wash-away stabilizer. And Voila! A perfect embroidery pattern. A friendly request: This is a picture of my son. I used it to demonstrate the process. Please feel free to link to this tutorial, but please do not re-post this whole post with pictures to your blog. If you need one picture to illustrate the post, use one of the sketches. Thank you.

Frecuentemente asociamos el bordado con las mujeres medievales que pasaban sus días realizando labores a la espera de un príncipe, o con las clases de manualidades de la escuela. Pero existen obras maestras que nos muestran que esto es un arte, y realmente moderno. Cada una de ellas es una pieza artística que tiene por objeto decorar, alegrar o recordar los mejores momentos de la vida. Es imposible no enamorarse del bordado cuando inviertes en él inspiración de sobra y amor a lo que haces.

Yesterday, I shared about my favorite quilt blocks to make again and again. I am wrapping that up today, and would love to hear about what quilt blocks are your favorites. Log Cabins (shared yesterday) Flying Geese (shared yesterday) Stars -Wonky or sawtooth Drunkard's Path Churn Dash Picking up where I left off - on Stars. How can you not love a star? It's definitely a very traditional block, but I feel like you can give any block a modern twist in many different ways....one being, make it wonky. I tend to make wonky stars over sawtooth, but I still love a good sawtooth star. Here are some of the star quilts I have made. Wonky stars in peachy pink and white. I loved this fabric so much, I just wanted it to be one giant sawtooth star. Another twist on a star, with bug patchwork blocks sewn to make a star quilt. This Liberty of London star quilt was so fun. So much negative space so the stars could really shine. And this might be my favorite wonky star quilt, that makes me instantly crave Starburst candy. One of the best things about a wonky star is the center square can be a fussy cut, so you can have a fun design and showcase a beautiful piece of fabric. The Drunkard's Path block is a more recent favorite. I used to HATE sewing curves, but like anything else in life, the more you try it, the better you get at it. If I was going to give any tips on drunkard path's it would be - the bigger the curve, the easier the sewing. Go slow. And use pins. I almost NEVER use pins. But I do on small curved pieces. I haven't made a ton of circle blocks, but this one quilt I recently made is one of my favorite things I have ever created. Are the seams on the circles absolutely perfect - No! But do I still love it so much- YESSSSS! In my opinion, the drunkards path lends to a more modern block. Especially when you combine a curve with straight lines. The contrast between the two is where it's at! I am breaking the rules on quilt humility here, but I loved this quilt so much. The only way I was able to part with it was because I started a quilt in a similar color palette months before I made this one, knowing I was going to keep the original. This is an example of a BIG drunkard path. Much easier to piece, and also better to feature a piece of fabric that you want to show off. This is the drunkard path quilt block I am making to keep. Using little bits of fabric scraps from past projects to create some early evening moons. I have two blocks done and seeing this just made me eager to make some more. Finally, rounding out my top 5 blocks-- the churn dash. I actually have not made this one that much, but I really do love it! I generally am not a fan of HSTs but this block mixes HSTs with basic patchwork, and it actually comes together quickly. Additionally love the idea of fussy cutting the center of the churn dash! I made this for a mini quilt swap, but love the idea of creating this in 9 blocks, 3 x 3, and turning it into a quilt. These fabrics and colors!!!! I had almost forgotten about this one, and it just made me feel like I need drive to the beach and get frozen yogurt. Something about Heather Bailey fabrics just makes me think of summer fun! And that is it - my five favorite quilt blocks. The list of runner ups would be endless (square in a square, improv triangles, plus blocks), but these are the blocks I always go back to. What are your favorite quilt blocks?

If you haven't heard by now, Summer Pop quilt pattern is now available!! This is a short and sweet blog post to help get your creative wheels turning! Elizabeth of @elizabethboltenstudio created all of these mock-ups for us and and I really love each of them! If you already own the Summer Pop PDF, these mock-ups are all conviently listed within the pattern. The Paper version of Summer Pop has most of these listed, but not all. And if you don't already own the pattern yet, you'll be seeing these for the first time! :) Let's take a look! . First up, we have fabrics from Carolyn Friedlander for Robert Kaufman. It's a little hard to envision Summer Pop with prints but I've found that abstract motifs, or designs like strips, dots, or some sort of small repeating theme....work really well! Exhibit A: .
