The very kind and very talented Kelly Jackson of I Have a Notion is sponsoring a blog hop featuring my machine embroidery applique designs! How cool is that?! The hop begins Mon 11/10 and runs through 11/14 and you can read about and see how these kinds of designs are made. Check out this great line up that she has arranged:
I have been a quilter for several decades now and have met many embroiderers when I have traveled to teach. They always tried to entice me to get into embroidery and I never in a million years thought it was anything I’d enjoy. BUT…once I saw the incredible quilts that could be created by melding embroidery and quilting, I was hooked! I also should say that even though I spend a ton of time quilting and learning about quilting, I was completely naive about this aspect of the craft. I bring this up because when I talk to quilters about machine embroidery applique, they kind of look at me like they have no idea what I’m talking about. Please take a ride along all the blogs in this hop because you’ll be amazed at the cool stuff you can make when you meld embroidery and quilting. Here are some examples:
…and even quilted motifs can be done on an embroidery machine:
Please stop by and I promise you’ll be amazed at what you see and learn!

I’ll be reading along as I work one day per week at a local sewing machine deale’s shop and can use the embroidery machines there. Mainly I only use them for shop samples, but I love learning more so I can teach our customers.
