Welcome! I too do machine embroidery, and incorporate it in my quilting. I also give my projects away, to family and other loved ones. The picture with my name is one I did for my neighbor on his first birthday. I am currently making fleece blankets, and also knitted ones to donate to CHOP (Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia). I find it easier to finish them if I don't make them fancy, also they have to be easily washable.
