Well, folks, just let me say...This was a challenge in many ways. Yes, I have experience sewing on silk, and I have experience sewing on velvet. I have limited experience quilting. But to combine all three was a new thing for me. I have always loved a challenge. When I was a kid if someone said, "I bet you can't...." then I did whatever that was, much to the chagrin of my parents. I am trying to stretch my capabilities, and expand my ideas into reality. When I was just starting out with the embroidery machine, my DDIL (yes, the same one) mentioned she would like a shower curtain with undersea creatures on it. So I made her one for the kids bathroom. I don't have any digital pics of it. But I am now an EXPERT at machine embroidery. You too can do all those things you have been wanting to try. Go ahead, I dare you....
