Macybaby, I wish I had an embroidery machine!! I too, just love the design of this quilt. It's so nice to meet you! We inheritted two old sewing machines from my husband's grandmothers and there was thread, letters, the original books that came with the sewing machines, etc. I passed them on to our children who treasure them as much as I do. I cannot imagine sewing on one of those old machines!!
