Your quilts are lovely. I too machine embroidery and I know how many hours it takes to complete one of these. I just have a Husqvarna Designer I so I only have one needle and it does take longer than a commercial embroidery machine. I wish I could afford a nice 5,6 needle machine. Thank you for sharing.

Fantastic quilts. I'm really encouraged now to mix my embroidery machine with my quilting. Thanks for sharing these.

You have been a busy lady, they are all so pretty. My embroidery machine only does 4"X4" so I haven't tried the quilt blocks yet.
You did a wonderful job.. Thasnks for sharing.

Your work is beautiful. Wish I had the time to finish just one project. I've got an embroidery machine which I should try something like this.

Thanks for the compliment!!!!

Wow, u r soooo right when you say that embroidery is very time consuming! Most of the embroidery I have done on the quilts takes up to an hour (sometimes more) per design. This is not straight embroidery - this includes all the thread changes! So altho I tend to crank out quilts quite quickly (or so I am told), it is only because I am a bit OCD and I work on them and nothing else until they are finished! lol (And yes, any time I have a project on the go, my house is completely trashed! Thank goodness for an understanding hubby!)

Thanks again for the compliment!

Do you use mainly 4x4 or larger patterns? What kind of ratio do you consider - meaning the size of the fabric block to the size of the embroidery pattern - like 4x4 - would you maybe plan that for a 6x6 or larger finished fabric block? Your work is definitely inspiration to get in and stitch. Beautiful work and planning.
