Every time I get to quilt for Julie, she reminds me that she wants it soft and cuddly, and NOT over-quilted. She's adamant about it! So for Julie, I tried to tone it back from my norm and keep it simple and sparse.
Somewhere in the life of this quilt, it developed a little tear in the fabric. I loaded some matching thread and ran a million tiny stitches over the area. It's not too terribly noticeable, and it will hold those raw edges safe from unraveling. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFotjYlwCbR231Ytc10dNINn4yqqjX5Us4SNg5lGimwl2mNmloyiNKEzNJAyPmgZiFNrcjDZ9SeDlGjtgwMOMQ4wwYjCFK_Kql4t2G7KYKCeePrKXgGHns1O_h2uBPja3N7bRHSnDzV8A/s640/IMG_9462-1.JPG)
The beadwork and lace were beautiful embellishments to the very traditional little Sue. Although, the beads were a little tricky to work around. Some of them obligingly nudged out of the way, as my machine's hopping foot came by. Others stayed firmly put, so I had to raise and lower my needle, stroke by stroke, creating one stitch at a time until I got away from the beads. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbM42CNz-_GcWjn7s57ngRNkP1m0UiCPuDeFDMeJPhxOSw75UAANCcwSFYJaNFGPyZEkuSlGvhrn3up5vTucqCoZinkeLl8mCyMFE79T5Y2-jDHbdAucxAIvW7p4TMTGSfH68exSCaxQY/s640/IMG_9463-1.JPG)
