Over the River

I have been working off and on my Over the River quilt for a few years now. I finally finished it and got it back from the long arm quilter last week. I am so excited that it is done in time for me to have for Christmas this year!!!! Now I can start another embroidery project!

Comment by June Johnson/Wi on October 20, 2013 at 8:08pm: Beautiful! That is one of my dream projects. I've seen them done in brown like yours, red, and blue. Don't know what color I would do.

Comment by Judy/WA on October 14, 2013 at 8:24am: Pam - I used a glass coffee table with a lamp under it to trace it. It didn't come with a transfer. If I thought I was going to make it quickly I would have considered using the Sulky stick on stuff that you can put through your printer and piece it.

Kathy - I LOVE how the long arm quilter quilted it. She used silk thread in the embroidery part where she cross hatched so it wouldn't cover up the stitching. She did a beautiful job.

Comment by Kathy Steele on October 12, 2013 at 5:45pm: I have this pattern and kit on my shelf. one of those "someday I'm going to do this". I too have always loved this quilt and still do. I have purchased kits that sat in the closet and eventually wondered why I ever bought it, would loose interest in it. Not this one though. I know it has been around for a while and I still find it very exciting every time I see it. I was very interested in how you had it quilted. I like the cross hatching on the embroidery panels. Great job and congratulations for finishing it!

Comment by Pam/NY on October 12, 2013 at 2:37pm: Judy, did the pattern come with an iron on of the embroidery part? ...or how did they have you do that?

Comment by Irene Gallway on October 12, 2013 at 2:27pm: Absolutely stunning. I admire how much time must have gone into this.

Comment by Jodi Cramer on October 11, 2013 at 11:55am: What a wonderful quilt! I love it!

Comment by Prairie Quilter/NE on October 11, 2013 at 6:35am: I've always liked this pattern, too - in all the colorways I've seen it (red, blue & black). Nice work, Judy! It's just beautiful!

Comment by Mary/ Tewksbury MA on October 11, 2013 at 6:05am: Beautiful work! You should be excited, it came out wonderful. Stars and FG really showcase your embroidered work. Congratulations and enjoy.

Comment by Barb/WI on October 10, 2013 at 7:23pm: Way to go! I have loved that quilt since the first time I laid eyes on it. I was in a quilt store in Appleton, Wis., and I remember just standing there, admiring that quilt for a very long time. Time and patience well spent!

Comment by Janet/MO on October 10, 2013 at 6:51pm: Congratulations Judy on getting this done. It is wonderful. I really do need to get mine out and get to work on it!
