Thread: Embroidery

I'm interested in hearing ya'lls ideas about WHAT you are embroidering.

I add embroidery to the corners of the borders of my quilts and sometimes to the plain blocks I put between pieced blocks.

I also embroider kitchen towels for gifts.

I do a lot of shirts and towels. Recently I did a set of potholders and aprons for a wedding gift. My friend always has quilt labels for me to do for her. I love the embroidery but now I am learning to make quilt tops and am having scary fun!

Here are some pictures in my blog of how I incorporated embroidery accents into a quilt...

Very pretty embroidery

Recently finished a flower basket block for a table cover. Then did nine Sunbonnet Sues for a wall hanging in redwork.
Now working on fruits including the leaves. Not sure what this will be....but maybe I will make them into snowballs and try a lap quilt. Wish there were more places to obtain redwork patterns. My nose is a little out of joint because yesterday a woman friend mistook my hand embroidery for machine made. OUCH.

I've been wanting to get my machine out and play.I'm waiting for my new Babylock ellure.
