I've fallen in love with Kimberbell machine embroidery. Not only are the quilts adorable, I learn new techniques with every pattern. The quilts are stitched in sections so if you like a particular block you can make a wall hanging or table runner from one or more of the individual blocks. I like to buy the embellishment kit with every pattern so I can make one project using the pattern book instructions. Then I like to improvise using individual blocks or different imbellishments to create table runners, pillows, quilts and etc. Each pattern provides hours of fun and creativity.
I've recently completed the Spring Showers Quilt and I just have to share it.
I love the detail in each block. I used a 10" square bundle of fabric and yardage from the Happy Days collection by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda Fabrics for this wall hanging.
Using this pattern, I learned about iron on vinyl and how to use it and how to make wool flowers. I also used thin cork for the flower pots.
Aren't the sayings adorable.
The embellishments include the felt, the iron on vinyl and the little felt bees, mushrooms and ladybugs.
