I am working on a baby quilt, embroidery blocks. Almost done with the abc picture pattern blocks. I am changing some of the letter pictures that I didn't like and am really enjoying the experience so far.
I picked up a pen from Nancye's quilt store she recommended, it is working great. Some of the changes I made included jam to jelly fish, pencil to pig, key to kangaroo. I was able to draw my pictures with the water pen. I chose the one that lasts longer than a few hours. Nancye thanks for the heads up on the differences.
I was also able to find fabric (soft mint green with lighter dots) that will frame the quilt blocks and ties the quilt blocks with the back fabric that was an impulse buy a few weeks ago (hobby lobby abc fabric themed). The women at Janielou's were very helpful and fun to work with. They had great suggestions.
I am looking forward to putting the top together. I may even try those fun points along the edges. I don't have the vocabulary down but, I think I am understanding the concepts and have some quits that grandmothers have made as samples.
I will also be going back in the chat. I think there was good info you all shared back in late January. Thank you all for your help. I am having such fun making this for my first grandbaby. Thanks Nancye for the quilt shop info. I told the women there that a "Chat" friend recommended them. : )
