Great job Will! Did you digitize those designs yourself? You did a great job on the quilt design :lol:

Yes, I digitized the figures myself. That's what got me interested in quilting in the first place. My wife is the sewer and had taken some quilting classes. I copied the figures from Dover Publications Chinese Folk clip art and modified them as needed. I also had to pull the origional clip art into Corel print shop pro to delete or add parts to the figures to get what I wanted. I embroidered the figures using my wifes Brother 4500 machine. See ya.

The figures are all machine quilted. I wouldn't do it if I couldn't use a machine. Sewing on the binding is all the hand work I want to do.
