“Snow Flowers” by Susan Stewart is a gorgeous wholecloth quilt combining machine embroidery, applique, lace inserts, crystals and exquisite quilting. It won a 1st place ribbon at AQS Paducah 2014, and Best Machine Workmanship at AQS Albuquerque 2015.

In the following video Susan explains how she made and applied the cut-out lace sections. She stitched embroidery designs from Zundt on water soluble stabilizer and combined them to create the lace.

The following video tells more of the story of this quilt. Perseverance was key to to seeing it to completion.

Susan has created several beautiful quilts using machine embroidery and/or her embroidered lace technique. Here are some examples. You’ll find more of her quilts using embroidery designs here.

Consider machine embroidery for giving your next quilt a special touch. Whether it’s created as lace or simply stitched on a patch, the artistry of embroidery can take a quilt to the next level.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
