Machine Appliqued and Embroidered Quilts


I quilted these first three machine appliqued and embroidered quilts for Elaine. The first quilt is called Tulip Time and so pretty in the soft pastel colors.


Elaine and I decided on the panto called Curly Q in a tan colored thread.



Pink wide backing.


The next quilt is a machine embroidered Christmas Quilt with the Figgy Pudding fabrics.


We decided on a simple stipple quilting so that the beautiful embroidered blocks will be the focus and not the machine quilting.



Scrappy backing.


Elaine's cute Pink Elephant quilt also got quilted with a simple stipple.




My Cut Loose Quilt top is all done!


My daughter's Batik Quilt just came out of the dryer. This is one of my favorite quilts.



Happy Quilting!
