Save a Quilt

I had this old quilt that was my baby quilt.  My grandmother had pieced together the blocks then my mother put the entire quilt together for me.  As you can see it was pretty ragged.  The large blue paint stains are courtesy of Ken who must have used it as a paint backdrop.  I decided to try and save my baby quilt and get some practice with my Husqvarna Viking sewing machine and my new Brother Embroidery machine.  I had to applique lots of little fabric hearts over area with bad stains and I tried to stick to the color scheme for the blocks in the ear nearby.  The finished quilt has lots of mistakes but sure does look better don't you think.

This is the front refinished.

Sewing machine Project

I have been doing a lot more sewing/quilting/machine embroidery lately and needed something to sit under my sewing machine.  Here is what I made this morning using pre-qulited fabric.  I learned how to use my Husqvarna Viking adjustable bias foot on this project.  I added pockets on the front to keep scissors, seam ripper etc close by.
