Quilting and Machine Embroidery!

I love to quilt and machine embroidery.   I am going to show and tell the quilts that I have made.  Sometimes they will be very pretty and others are very simple.  I will also be posting the projects as I finish them.  Some are very old and others are done up quickly on a whim!

This is an apple core made in batiks fabrics.  I learned a big lesson here.  I hand pieced this!  Big mistake.  The batiks are hard to needle through because of the way they are dyed.  It is very pretty but it did cause me to have some sore fingers!  There are some jacaobean butterflies and flowers embroidered throughout the quilt as seen in the close up below.  It was one of the first quilts that I quilted on my Bailey Homequilter and Grace pro frame.

It is a queen size and I think it is very cheeful!

Thank you in advance for any comments you would like to post.  I am totally new to this blogging and I am not sure what I am doing.   But I do welcome any and all comments!!!
