I am currently working on a AOTH quilt...I love needleturn and I love embroidry. I have done both in quilts since 1990. I know there are a lot of people who embroider beautiful pictures by machine, but I cannot bring myself to buy a pattern push a button and watch as a machine produces the beauty! No offense to my sister in Vermont and all the marvelous quilters on this board with those machines...they're just not for missgigglewings!
