Well cuties, last two blocks. On the my way to finishing this thing, had to take a break this afternoon, was about to pull my hair out (the little bit I have left). The second block I loveeee and is by far my favorite, it is from embroidery design, the i-a-i-a-o (I changed the letters for the french version) is from embroidery lib. and others elements from a little all over the place. This block alone has 75,000 stitches. The first block says "the friends at the farm" and bales are from emb. lib.

Very cute! Suzanne

it is so beautiful. Wish I could make some blocks precise like yours

Your quilt is going to bw beautiful. wiah I could do a quilt but every time I think I will do one some one comes in and wants something sewed I can not keep up guess I am just getting to old. to do all the things I do.
Lena

You probably posted this earlier but would you mind telling us what size the blocks are? I sure hope you post a quilt completed photo. Once again it is wonderful, can't say that enough..

beautiful!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful job with us. I know your niece will be knocked out with it as it is a huge undertaking! ;)

Adourable job and it has a good humor

Splendide ton travail !!! Avec tout tes blocs, tu es devenue la star ici et certainement chez toi aussi.
Que de temps tu as du passer à chercher chaques modèles sur tout les sites (et d'argent), avant même de les redimensionner.
Ta ferme me rappelle notre voyage dans ta belle région avec tous ces bâtiments agricoles rouge et blanc.
Allez, montre nous vite ton montage, j'ai hâte !!!!
Courage, c'est bientôt terminé.

Encore un gros merci,
La ferme ressemble celle de les grands-parents de ma nièce pour qui je fais cette couverte.
Quand je suis tombé sur le design j’a tous de suite pensée à eux.
Je pense bien terminer ce matin et je pourrais enfin passer à d’autre chose. J’ai travailler fort sur ce
projet mais Jessica est spéciale pour moi, et je suis certaine qu’elle va beaucoup aimer.
Merci
Michelle

This is stunning work michelle, do you resize each design and can you put them together on your machine display befor eyou start to embroier,?

Thank you Pam
I don't resize everything, depends on the porportions of the designs, they have to be equal or similiar. I have the embird program and it is truly the best money I have ever spent. It has opened up a whole new embroidery world for me.
hugs
Michelle

You are indeed and artist. Someday - if you do decide to paint and you become famous. I can say I new her when you got her start painting with her sewing machine. :)

Michelle, I finally found your barn and it is quite large. Did you stitch it out that size or make is smaller? How big did your block end up being? I do love how you added the other designs and make it look like the digitizer made it that way. You are so talented.

by michemb 17 Nov 2012

thank you so much Mylinda,
Painting is still on my "to do list", maybe someday but I better get cracking befor the arthritis sets in.hoop. I would also like to challenge myself in 2013 and try my
hand at digitizing, my head is already a buzz with ideas.
The barn is large and I left it that size, my blocks are 9" x 14 1\2"
so my designs were put together to fit my 200 x 360mm hoop.
Thanks again
hugs
Michelle

Excellent love all of them.

:Your blocks are stunning. I love barn designs and I collect all I see for the quilt I am working on. Would like to know where you can purchase
this one to add to my quilt. You sure did a good job. Would like to see the finished quilt when it is all put together. Send me an email with a picture if you would. Cleta kb0rca@iowatelecom.net

Hi Celta,
Here is the link for the barn design, I will post my finished project as soon as I finish it. Word of caution, never post your personal e-mail address for all to see, we have had some undesirable on this site of late. Better to send private messages to cuties, much safer.
Have a nice day. http://www.embroiderydesigns.com/...

These are lovely, what size are your blocks?

Thanks,
this will defintely be a "one of a kind"

They all look amazing and soon you will be able to hang up your overalls and pitchfork and have a nap in the hay, lol

Your too funny, yes I could use a nap in that haystack but then I would end of in the hospital, very allergic

Happy for you now that the blocks are done; the last ones can really try our patience sometimes,lol. Love the wording...

Thanks Cecilia
I cannot could the hours I put into this quilt (just the taking apart and putting back together was ridiculous) but I will be a very happy camper (or should I say farmer LOL) when it is done.
hugs
Michelle

sorry this should say "the barn is from embroidery design"
