Embroidery Projects

So, I have a new embroidery machine!! I am learning new skills everyday.  The first thing I made was a zipper purse that is made completely in the hoop. I made several for Christmas gifts on my first embroidery machine, but it would only make small purses.  This new machine has a larger hoop, so larger purses!! I can embroider a pattern on the purse as it is sewing, so I don't have to take it out of the hoop at all. I love it! I even made a few with a mesh type material on the front, so you can see thru them.

 Maxine speaking her mind again. Now she speaks it while I am cuddling up with her. 

A view of the quilt while still on the Long-arm machine.  My lovely HQ 18, set up in my sewing room. 

 

So I am famous for about  my Cutting and Pasting stories when learning on the new laptop. Had to share this cartoon!!

Minky backing on this quilt. Found out I love quilting on Minky, not only is it so fun to just touch, but it loves to be quilted!! And look at that green, is that just now begging to be cuddled up to?
