That is a beautiful quilt. You did a great job on the embroidery/thread painting.

Your embroidery is phenomenal. What a steady hand you have. Can't believe the work you put into this and it shows. But then grandchildren are more than worth it aren't they? Keep designing, you definitely have a talent. Can't wait to see more!

What an adorable quilt! You should be very proud---and ARE a quilter! Tell your hubby that this idea was not a dangerous idea---it was a fantastic idea.

I hooped the fabric, then just started sewing on a straight stich with a embroider foot (I have a Brother embroidery machine-but this is free hand embroidery). It is like coloring with thread.

Wow! I am really impressed! I thought this was computerized machine embroidery. You free handed this!?---you have an amazing talent.

Oh gosh! How wonderful is that? The quilt is ideal - colors are bright, and the subject is perfect. Besides, who wouldn't like to snuggle with a great rag quilt like this? Thanks sew much for sharing.
