A few years back at the Buggy Barn quilt show I saw a way super fun Crabapple Hill Studio quilt that looked so amazing that I never dreamed I would be able to do anything like it. But since I have been trying my hand at embroidery with the Splendid Sampler, I decided to try the Mystery of the Salem Quilt Guild pattern on the Crabapple Hill website. I ordered all of the panels and the finishing kit.
I traced, colored and heat set the fabric. I used a large window and taped the pattern and fabric down to get it traced accurately.


Coloring was so fun! I felt like I was back in grade school again:)
I organized all of my threads and started embroidering. It is like a permanent fabric adult coloring book with thread. FUN!!


I just can’t say how much I am enjoying this project. I am excited to start panel #2 of 3.




I know I will not have this embroidered, pieced and quilted by October, but maybe by next year…
It’s all SWEET!–Tracy:)
