Thoughts on stippling

Watson....that quilting looks way cool. Very creative.
I made a patchwork cover for my vanity bench and quilted SITD at the corner of piecing. the stitching was just maybe 1/4" length on each angle of the corner. I did this thru-out cover at various places. it has not shifted even with my rear-end squirming around on it daily.

I just finished one for my sister. 60th Birthday. I didn’t want lots of quilting so where the 4 patches met I did embroidery. Some were her initials. Some were “60”. Some were butterflies, flowers. Just a mix of stuff. Flannel Front and minkee back. You really can’t tell what they all are but I know of all the love and symbolism that went in to it!!! Went decently fast. I am very happy with the results!!!

From one board drafter to another. What we called stippling in art is pin dotting. In quilting stippling is a meandering wiggling line that does not cross itself. Did it by hand once. Never again, now I do it by machine. Really small pebbles or scribbling will get closer to what you are thinking about. Check out Cindy Needhams site for some good examples. Good luck.
