Candlewick Embroidery

Another gorgeous quilt from Janet Sansom. She designed the embroideries to look like Candlewicking.

I divided the border with diagonal lines, quilting feathers inside, and straight lines at the edge, which I think made it look more interesting.

    I was thinking about making my sister a quilt she is about to have a baby and some body suggested candle wicking and I was thinking hot air balloons looked cute but I am a first time quilt maker what do you think and I was wondering if someone has a pattern thank you Karen
