I love this! I use one hand and quilting can be difficult for me. A friend suggested this, but then I was warned that the back might not look very nice. I think the trick is to choose the embroidery carefully. I think I can do it!

My friend actually did the Irish chain for me (I asked her to make a few tops for me since I'm selling her a sewing machine for the work--no money exchanging hands--). I spent quite a few hours doing the embroidery, and thought I would hate it when I was finished but I don't. I almost stopped after the first snowman but my husband assured me it looked fine!

I got the designs from www.emblibrary.com and used my Janome 350E and Janome Horizon 12000.

This one isn't for charity--it's for our family!
