Sew Sew Busy!

Did you see the first mantle cloth I made using the Let's Twist pattern?  It was for St. Patty's Day.  We liked it so much I made another for Easter.  This time it is with purple fabric for the main body, and Easter Egg fabric for the pinwheels.  I added some fancy stitches around the squares and in gold, the titles of some favorite Easter hymns.  Gotta get to it and get more made for various other holidays. 

 

 

 Once I'd completed the mantle piece, I tried a free downloaded pattern on the embroidery machine for a wall hanging.  I'm beginning to get the hang of the embroidery machine.

Carol (my sister) visited and brought with her the quilt she's made from material I inherited from our Aunt Martha and handed on to Carol.  She wanted me to embroider a bit of something on each of the plain squares.  This is what we came up with.

 This is the signature square I created....was hoping to embroider all the words, but hadn't figured that out yet.  But it says all the important stuff.

 And here's Carol with the completed quilt.  Aunt Mar would have been most pleased, I am sure.  Especially since we did it together!
