Flourishing Palms: Embroidery Mini Quilt Swap

Embroidery Mini Quilt Swap

A couple weeks ago I showed you this quilt label on the back of my Embroidery Mini Quilt.

What I didn't show you is the front of this 10" X 12" mini.

I stitched it with Cosmo embroidery threads, matching the thread colors to those in the border fabric.

I free-motion quilted it around the border flowers.

The piece is on its way to - or maybe has even arrived - in the Netherlands. To help ensure she likes it, I included some cappuccino mix and a few chocolates.

Homemade Basting Spray

3 cups water

1 tsp. salt

3 heaping TBLS. flour

1 cup rubbing alcohol (Vodka works too and makes the spray odorless)

1 clean 24-ounce spray bottle

A 16.9-ounce Best Press bottle works; 2 bottles will be needed.

Combine 2 cups water and 1 tsp. salt in a pot; bring to a boil.

Combine 1 cup water and 3 heaping TBLS. flour in a jar or well sealed tupperware; shake to mix. When the water and salt boils, lower temperature to a gentle boil; add flour and water. Cook on medium heat until the mixture thickens like gravy. Stir it so it doesn't stick. Remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. When mixture is cool, pour it into the spray bottle. Add 1 cup rubbing alcohol or vodka. Shake well to mix.

Recipe revised, but courtesy of StringandStory blog.
