My new baby

Well, I had so much trouble with my old (3 years old) embroidery machine that I decided to upgrade. This is my new baby. Isn't she pretty? I should be playing with her, but I fell at the store and I'm in so much pain that I can't even think. But, soon, I will be able to play and have lots of fun.

If anyone needs any labels of something done, let me know.

Update

I have been so busy with other things that I've not even thought about posting what I've accomplished.

I've finished an old UFO and a birthday block, I did a lady of the lake quilt. This is a wonderful pattern, more birthday blocks, small quilts and just fun things.

Finishes

I finished the binding on the Lady of the Lake blue and white quilt. It is pretty.

I have finished quilting this purple quilt for Sandy. I love this soft girly part of this quilt.

I just finished the binding on another baby quilt, so now there are 2 ready to go to Wilford Hall. I need photos of those.

Some quilting

I've been quilting. The blue and white quilt is quilted with flowers and stippling. I have the binding half done on it, so should be finished soon.

I did a quick baby quilt for the Wilford Hall babies. Binding ready to sew down on that one too.

I have the purple and pink quilt ready to put together. That should be done soon too.

I think I have the pattern I want for the Dear Jane quilt. It has been difficult for me to figure out the right pattern.

quilting on my birthday

Well, my small group was cancelled today because they are redoing the room. It will be wonderful when it is done.

So, I've been doing my own frenzy at home.

I finished a post card and I didn't take a photo of it.

I made a birthday block. Another churn dash.

I finished my patriotic heart wall hanging that has been a UFO for many years. So, that is a good thing to finish. At least one UFO a month is the plan. Hoping it is more than that, but one a month will be great.

I'm working on a love quilt now. This is pink and needs to turn out to be more of a purple quilt. I am putting a checkerboard border on it to help with the purpleness.

I'm also trying to determine the quilting for a Dear Jane that is embroidered. I think I have the border figured out and if I can do the outlines, I have the center figured out too.

It's been awhile since I actually did a report, so I will just start the summary again. I am in the middle of lots of things and have been quilting for others, so I've not used very much. But, if you look through the older posts, you can see I've been busy. LOL
