While I was working at the local sewing machine store I made samples to be hung in the store and to be used to decorate the booths at shows. I like to use old blue jeans for quilts and since there were 4 jeans wearers in their family, they kept me supplied.
The different sewing machine companies produce CD's with designs exclusive to their company. One of the ones from Babylock was all about little kids. I chose just the boy designs, used the blue checked fabrics to embroider most of the designs on and then filled in with a little embroidery on some of the denim pieces. I designed these quilts as I was working one them, nothing was planned ahead of time.
We ordered some of the Loralie embroidery designs and the matching fabric line. Once again I just started doing the embroidery and designed the quilt afterwards. I am offering a class at that store this month on "Design as you go embroidery quilts". I know that putting the word design in the title scares off a lot of people since most of them want every step laid out for them. I am still hoping there are some adventurous people out there.
