CQ Christmas Embroidery Designs

More Crazy Quilting to start this week

and feed the addiction to these wonderful Embroidery beauties.

These wonderful Crazy Quilting Embroidery designs have now trickled over into some Christmas designs this week.
Today, I've been pulling scraps out from the Christmas fabric bin. And quite fun pulling those fabrics out along with reminders of something once stitched some time ago, and to enjoy the colors and blends.

I adore each little motifs and how well it fits into its choice area. Most of the designs have stitched out smoothly today for me. Though I did run into a few troubled spots, and as to have to work around them, and soon back to smooth sailing running through the pattern designs.

My problem likely raised due to my oversight in continuously using the same machine needle previously used with the last design. Once changed to a new needle all things returned to smooth stitching.

Lesson One with a Hint: Change machine needle with each design, and this is even more important when using detailed designs & patterns to stitch out.
Step One: Foundation applique

My latest Quilt

Been busy finishing up with a new baby quilt this weekend. I decided 2 weeks ago, to make another Puff/biscuit/pillow quilt. As soon as I located and purchased fabric for the puffs, I was right on it. And to my luck, I already had a bag of filling and plenty of muslin for the backside to make the pillowing puffs. All I needed was the rainbow of pastel fabrics. For this quilt, color choices included yellow and purple with a few coordinating prints with hints of pink after all, this is to be made for a newborn baby girl just born last week! I'm almost done today and rather excited for it to be soon gifted. However first, wanted to organize my journal progresses and edit my notes. That made me begin to wonder, how many quilters really do journal their progresses with notes, and as one is working on a project or quilt. I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....
