    Wonderful handwork. Can't wait to see how you use them in a quilt.

    You really got those stitches in there perfectly. Lots of love shows in your work.

    Lumix has a camera that helps with that. I just forget to use it most of the time. :-(

    Oh dear, you all don't think this is free hand embroidery, do you? Jack Dempsey and Janlynn make the blocks with the images already stamped on them. All I do is follow the lines and when washed the lines go away. I've followed his colors on all of them except this butterfly one. He had it all blue so I changed it up. I could never do all that free hand. One single image on a small square yes, but not a lot of big squares all alike. :-)

    This is what it was suppose to look like. Pretty in the picture but when I did some of it I didn't like it.

    I tie my quilts. I tied this one with yellow craft thread. I like tied the best and it's a good thing since I can't machine quilt to save my life. :-)
