this 2 1/2 year labor of love for my youngest grandchildren. It has 30 machine embroidered blocks telling the story of the Night Before Christmas. There are over 2 million embroidery stitches in this quilt.
It is my very first completed quilt, so needless to say, it was a learning curve. I quilted it on my embroidery machine which was a challenge, but, all in all, I am pretty proud of it. Can't wait to take it to the kids in Florida in December. Thanks for looking.

MaggieLou 11-08-2012 07:19 AM

I guess I'm going to ask a stupid question but how do you quilt with an embroidery machine? Don't the stitches look different on the back?

EmiliasNana 11-08-2012 07:43 AM

WOW. What an undertaking. It will certainly become an heirloom and treasured for generations to come. I love the backing fabric you chose too.
