| I have fallen in love with redwork, bluework, etc. I made this baby quilt trying to learn to use my embroidery machine. The grandmother wanted something that was not too babyish so I embroidered baseball boys bluework on the white blocks and whitework baseballs on the yellow & white blocks.
The backing is the same color as the bluework. The little boys gloves and the ball look padded and quilt is reversable. I am getting better with my embroidery machine, thank goodness!!!!! I thought it hated me LOL!!!!!! Rosa

| Thanks everyone, the *work embroidery is perfect for quilting. Rosa |

| Rosa, It is so cute. Did you embroider each individual square then sew them together-sort of quilt as you go or did you put the whole thing together and then embroidery. If you had it together first how did it work in the machine? I have thought of doing this but am not sure how to go about it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you could give me. Sally |

| Rosa, I really like your quilt....love the back. I've been contemplating getting an embroidery machine to do quilts, but have been dragging my feet. SharonG/FL |

| Sharon, I was the same way, it took me over a year to decide to buy one or not. I love mine, but it isn't as easy as just putting the card in and turn on the machine!!!!! There are so many (including stippling) designs for machine quilting. Sally, |
