Learn to quilt spaced pebbles
Start stitching the pebble as usual. Then outline the first stitching with a new stitching, close to the previous one, but not on top of it. Repeat 3-4 times. Then start a new pebble, leaving enough space between them so they don’t overlap.
It’s fun and the effect is spectacular, it definitely worth the effort.
Below there are some regular pebbles – it’s not the same thing!
I made this shadow trapunto quilt four years ago; it is one of my favorite quilts. I love, love the texture created by trapunto and quilted pebbles.
The white design is made out of batting and on top of the batting there is organza- tutorial for the shadow trapunto technique here.
These pictures remind me why I love so much shadow trapunto!
It helps if you use thick thread! I used a white thread for trapunto and for the background quilting I used a thick Valdani variegated thread.
And this is the back.
Spaced pebbles is something I have to quilt more!

I love doing pebbles, but don't do them enough. Next time, I will try the spaced pebbles. They look fantastic!! What a difference it can make on a quilt. Thank you so much for sharing!
Happy Quilting……………
Beautiful work, as usual, Geta.
Superbe!
By the way, are you giving workshops? Just in case, I am planning something here in Switzerland for 2016, just asking…
Just beautiful…you make it look so easy but I know otherwise…really admire your quilting!!
I had never thought of doing pebble like this, thank you – they look so good, and the completed piece is gorgeous!
I love doing pebbles, I used them on a Christmas quilt to make the background look like it's snowing. It came out great. Your spaced ones are on a much higher level, and I love the texture they give.
OLá Geta!
Eu simplesmente AMEI este teu trabalho em trapunto.
É maravilhoso!!!
Parabéns novamente!
Um abraço carinhoso de sua fã

As usual, your quilting is fantastic! I like how the spaced pebbles give 2 kinds of texture for the price of 1. Thanks for the guidance.
