This is an original quilt that I designed and made. It is for my precious nephew who will hopefully follow in the family tradition and attend the University of Georgia. All of the "G's" are free hand machine embroidered and the bulldogs in the corners are also done in free hand embroidery.

This looks lovely and the colours are just right for a guy. You have done a lot of work on this one especially when you say free hand motion embroidery.
Well done, hope he follows your family tradition also.

It looks great. Could you do a close-up of the bulldogs, I'd love to see the free hand embroidery in detail.

Go Dawgs! You did a great job! Free hand machine embroidered! Wow, you are a pro! I like how you designed this quilt with the dawgs, on each corner! They look like if they were watching over the "fan" who will be sleeping there! He will love it!

Just stunning, but may I ask what is free hand machine embroidered, did you do the design by hand or by machine??? Don't hear about that before, sorry I'm asking.

I did it on the machine but with only my hand guiding the needle. That was the G's and the bulldog faces. It is grid quilted with red/black verigated thread.;)
