I just like to show my latest WIP. I'm making this quilt for a girlfriend's daughter. She saw the quilt I made for my son and been asking for one ever since.

This is a machine embroidery applique. I still need to piece the strips together. I'm hoping I'll get it done within a week so that I could send it off to her.

So, what do you think?

Oh look at all that work! Bless your heart for spending so much time for your girlfriend's daughter.
I love it, so cute and perfect for the 30's repro fabric.

Thanks! It's not possible for me to take a picture of her with it since I'm in East coast and they're in West coast. I'll have to ask if her mom would do that. If she does, I'll post it.

What's a grandma's hope chest? I could help by making a block? What do you say? :lol:

i love it. you did a great job!

kathy 04-23-2009 06:03 AM

absolutely adorable! I haven't done any of the emb. applique, are they much trouble? Your quilt makes it look worth it anyway. I may have to try some now?

It's a lot easier that the machine applique. I've been using my embroidery machine to do these kind of appliques. I don't get perfect stitch when I try it on my sewing machine.

So cute! Love all the color, I am sure she will also.

Evelynquilts 04-23-2009 03:41 PM

How adorable.... :)

AkAngel 04-23-2009 07:32 PM

I just call it that, basically just start making things now for a future grand baby. Basically like a regular hope chest only for the baby. Start putting in a few blankets, afghans, outfits etc.
I love this quilt, its adorable.

AtHomeSewing 04-23-2009 07:50 PM

Totally adorable!

Mousie 04-24-2009 07:21 AM

so charming, so adorable, will have another happy recipient and that makes it all worthwhile! :wink:

What a darling little quilt. I'm sure your friend's baby is going to love it. I like the embroidery but also like the nice bright, happy colors you have chosen. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Darling. Very cute. And I don't like 1930's fabrics

Grandma Cindy 04-30-2009 10:17 AM

Where did you find all the cute baby animal patterns? Wonderful!

Shadow Dancer 04-30-2009 10:18 AM

Cindy,
It's the machine embroidery applique designs. These designs are from emblibrary.com. Yes, I cheated. I didn't do the applique the normal way. For the life of me, I could get the satin stitch to look right.

nellie 04-30-2009 01:56 PM

very cute lulu

pennyswings 04-30-2009 03:35 PM

Really cute. What's not to love?? The colors are great, Kids love bright colors. All the little critters are so cute.
