Thank you. Oh, heavens no, I'm not that talented. I'm a cheater, as my mom says, I used an embroidery machine. I did sew it with the 201 though.

Two pieces of advice I like to give when asked about machine embroidery:
1-Get a machine with the biggest hoops you can afford. Something I was told and didn't listen to. That's why I have two machines.
2-This hobby can quickly become a $$ pit if you let it. You can quickly sink your budget with all the threads, extra hoops, stabilizers, etc.. Take it slow, buy a few spools of thread at first and a couple different stabilizers. That way if you find it isn't your cup of tea you won't be too far in the hole other than the machine.

Your quilts are beautiful. When I make something on an old machine or even use vintage fabric, I always feel like someone in heaven is smiling on me for using their things. I know that when I'm in heaven and someone is finally using my over abundance of supplies, it will make me smile. Thanks for sharing.
