Sounds very promising! That is mostly the hardest part if you ask me. Finding all the fabrics and pattern that is.

I need to get back on mine. I have to stitch around the first two sets and then cut out the next set to sew. I have been playing with the embroidery machine but ran out of needles. When I buy some more I can finish those up.

Hi Robert, you did good, I love your designs. Your fabric selection is very attractive. How long have you been embroidering and what kind of machine do you have? When I had my store I had several male customers into quilting and embroidering. They were so involved, they were fantastic.
My 2yr old GGS is fascinated with with my machines. I'll
give him another year or two and then I will have him sewing. I do not ever remember not sewing. Started before I was 4 and still have the doll and doll clothes I made throughout the years, at least 75 years of them..

robert the blocks look great.

i'm really impressed with the quality of the embroidery, i still struggle with puckering from time to time.
