BOM 10 Ethereal Grove Quilt

I finished September 

with a major WIN!

Traded in my old Babylock 

for a B700!

Now I have a dedicated 

embroidery machine 

and my B880 can bounce 

between quilting and 

whatever else I need it to do!

I started with a Bernina B700 machine design... 

and of course it HAD to be an elephant!

Then- it was on to my BOM 

Ethereal Grove Quilt.  

This month is 16 triangles 

to complete block 10!

Quite the challenge!

Being triangular 1/2 squares, 

I was able to knock out 2 at a time... 

using less stabilizer

considered "the red work"

Fabric B:

painters tape helps keep fabric

 edges out of the way...

fabric c

and finally, fabric d...

nearly ran out of bobbin thread...

thank goodness I had another, 

tis good to hoard!

Steps 22-26 embroidered the firefly: 

glow, thorax, head, wings, and shell. 

MY FAV part of the blocks!

love the way the metallics look... 

but they split & fray often, 

so I use sparingly. 

But had to go metallic on these fireflies!

love it!

Yesssssss......

with all 16 panels completed 

and pinned in place:

It’s a wrap for month 10- 

October’s “Ethereal Grove” 

mystery block of the month. 

All 16 of this month’s 

triangular blocks framed 

outer edges and I can finally 

begin to see an outline 

to the total design for this 

mystery BOM quilt… 

or at least I think so. 

Only 3 months left!
