My avatar is a commissioned Sunbonnet Sue quilt that I embroidered, I've done kitchen, bath, & golf towels. All my quilt labels, monogrammed pillowcases, purses, cosmetic bags. Embellished purchased t shirts, sweatshirts, etc. I was a beta tester for a famous embroidery designer, I had many, many denim blocks that I had test sewn. My first quilt was putting all these together, rag style - it turned out very cool.
I'll add some pics of other quilts I've done.
