Thanks so much Sisters Embriodery I think that is a wonderful Idea. That has been my problem with not doing more blocks (also been out of town for 3 weeks) I have not done much applique and the hand was hard for me and I have been completely stuck with the Hope words not knowing how to get it on there. I did not like just writing with the pen so I think your offer is super. Again thanks to everyone who is trying to help with this project.

Mh, I am pondering an idea (do you see the smoke rising?) lol

Phew! What a relief, i thought there was another forest fire in CA headed this way again! :wink:

LMK if you've all decided and i'll give you my address to send the blocks. I used to sell on ebay (yuck) in the process of switching to etsy soooo i ship from home all the time. I'm a quick shipper i promise. Em is currently working on a project, (14 blocks of flowers for our latest quilt) but she'll be freed up and ready for something else within 3 days!

TC!

What a great idea and thanks for offering to help out too, Jae :D :D :D

Just a follow up question on the embroidery: Can your machine do larger size lettering? (Not exactly sure what size I have in mind - somewhere between tiny and humongous. lol)

In all honesty she does humongous better than tiny! The satin letters below are almost 5" and the first letters are almost 9". Are you wanting a kind of slanted block? (a little more stylish than block but easier to read than script)

Those embroidery samples are beautiful. I may well take you up on your offer.

Right now I am still fighting with my camera.

I have hands from Quiltncrazy, gaigai, beachlady, and amma Thanks you all very much!

All the hand blocks are so sweet and for the life of me, they WILL NOT be photographed. I have tried with flash, without flash, with a light background, with a dark background....no luck.

Let's try it again:

They are a little dark - but better than nothing:

Those hands look good. How many blocks have you gotten? what size quilt are you planning ?
