Machine embroidered quilt

Gee - this is better! More posts AND photos from me.....

Found these pictures that I had taken of a customer quilt that I finished in early July. This lady had made this heavily machine embroidered quilt from patterns purchased. She had lots of problems and ended up redigitising some of them and changing others to make them work. There was a little puckering around some of the embroideries so we decided that McTavishing would be the way to go to pull in some of the excess and hide any creases caused by the heavy embroidery that obviously did not have enough tension or stabilisation when being executed. She had put in so much work and thought into this that I wanted her to be really proud of it!

Anyway...here goes....hope you like it! The main thing was that she was thrilled with it. The quilting didn't overtake the embroidery, but just simply finished it off.



Until I find some more quilting photos....enjoy this lot!

cheers
