Oh, these are wonderful! I am hoping to get an embroidery machine for Christmas, and your quilts have inspired me to not lose sight of my objective. I want to use embroidery to enhance my quilts, and I am thankful there are affordable machines that do the work. I learned to embroidery, and quite well, when I was a girl; now, at age 72, my arthritic hands prohibit hand-embroidery. Thanks for the inspiration!
