New designs added to store

 Block 5 was added to the Shades of Red quilt.

This block was one of the reasons the designing of this quilt came to a halt as I just could not decide what to substitute the original design with as I did not particularly like the original version which is known as Red Delicious by Esther Aliu.  Then this came to mind and Voila!

Block 2 of the Bohemian Quilt was finally ready after much editing.  Still learning Embroidery Office but getting there step by step.  This block features a monochromatic design.

Block 3 is yet again an applique design which went quite smooth designing it although the first stitch out distorted badly.  The fabric shifted in the hoop, like I didn't hoop it tight enough.  After starching and ironing the fabric, this one stitched like a dream.  It will be loaded shortly to my store.

And so, I soldier on to block 4 of about 30 which will make up this quilt.  A huge task I know whilst also working fulltime as well, but for now I focus on one block at a time.

Finally embroidered the designs for Block 4, a chili and a tomato. They were also added to my store at Oregon Patchworks.

Shades of Red - Block 1

I am working on a project I fell in love with a few years ago.  But, as it is not my design, I can't sell the pattern.  I am however selling the different elements I designed using my own cliparts.

Although the fabric I used had dots on it, I added beads on top of it.
