Buddy'smom here on the quilt board has done many beautiful hand embroidery designs into quilts. I love her work.
I have done a few and it is a challenge to chose the setting. That is if I don't start out with something in mind. But I tend to set them very simply.
The ones that have been shown are lovely.
I like them because they are sentimental and sweet. I don't think I have any in my pictures, but there have been many of them posted here on the board. Here is one of my favorites.

Oh I forgot to tell you to check at bunnyhill.com too. They are such cute quilts.
