Embroidery equipment baby quilt






This is the one I had 3 embroidery test out pieces of equipment items.
I quilted it in brown thread (same as the previous 2 quilts)
I wrote airplane, heavy equipment, dump trucks and dirt, dirt dirt.
Heavy equipment 
Dirt, dirt, dirt.

Still not a "pretty" quilt, but it is ready for trimming and binding.
Binding is already made, so.....

Guild Charity Quilt #2 for May

I had to do swirls because my favorite pink swirly fabric was in here.
It's amazing how often I recognize fabric that someone else donated.

Postcards

I just finished making a couple of postcards to mail out today .
then, I had to come up with another was to display all my postcards when I rearranged my embroidery thread. 
It took up the wall space I was using to display the cards.
So, without much wall space in the room, I thought to string them on the curtain.
The top two rows are my birthday postcards (except for the center mug rug).
They are all so unique and beautiful.
Thank you all from Post Card Mail Art (PCMA) group for making my birthday month (April) so wonderful.

Productive

I've spent the day fighting a headache.
I'm sure it is weather related, but yikes it is not nice.
Anyway, I was bit slow, but being a turtle gets results.
UFO Majhongg is in top form
I didn't have enough fabric for the backing and I wish the light green had a bit more contrast, but it is from times past.
I took a blue wide back leftover piece and made a backing for this.
It is ready to quilt, along with all the other ones. 
First of 4 guild charity quilts.


Another UFO

This was a March UFO # Mahjongg
Why I didn't work on it as I cut it, who knows.
The directions are good, except they are not in color and color placement is important - no critical.
Love the focus fabric.
I just need to sew the rows together and then the borders.
I think I have enough fabric from the front to make a back for it.

Bear embroidery UFO

This UFO had 9 stitched out bears embroidery
It is small, but DS loves it. 
Might just save it for him.
Very low contrast, and from the stash. 
Binding already cut.
I put away everything that was in here yesterday.
This is from this morning.
These 3 machinery embroidery stitch outs were in the same bag as the bears.
Not sure why, because they would not go together at ll.
anyway, what do you do with 3 6" squares?
Make a strip quilt.
Why the brown? Dirt. LOL
I will quilt something in those spaces.
Binding is from the 3 colorful pieces.

Pincushions

This is from the bear embroidery bag.
I'm sure it is another test embroidery.
I made a pincushion, so if I get matched with someone with an 'A' name I've got one done.
This is the pink and black pincushion I just made.
