I finally finished the baby blanket! Here is a picture of the completed baby blanket with a nursery rhyme embroidered on the quilt binding on 3 sides and the babies name on the 4th side. Let me know what you think!

Weekend Challenge = Success!

After an additional trip to the fabric store yesterday morning and some colorful language, I have successfully completed the quilt top complete with embroidered binding! After this project, I have to say I am even more in love with my embroidery machine!!

Here are some pictures to show my progress:

It's not completely done yet. I still have to add the soft chenille backing but that will be the easy part! I can't wait to deliver this later this week. I hope they are as happy with it as I am!

I plan to make another one for my new nephew that is due in late September. I'd like to include his name and birth date and will have think of something for the other 2 sides. Leave me a comment with any suggestions you have!!

 

Weekend Challenge

This weekend I am taking on a new challenge. I'm making a baby quilt with embroidery but instead of the standard embroidery on the blanket itself, it will be on the binding or satin edging of the blanket. Each of the 4 sides will have a different saying on it.

I have a couple of theories for how I am going to accomplish evenly spaced letters both vertically and horizontally on all 4 sides. I'll let you know later this weekend how my theories work out!

Wish me luck!! Pictures will follow!
