Practice Embroidery


I haven't gotten a whole lot done today except a few machine embroidery designs. I most always make practice designs before putting them on anything. This way I can play with colors, learn the actual size of the design, how to place turn them and see if they sew out well. I get a lot of my designs from different places and I want to see them before I put them on a quilt or something and wish I had sewn them first. They always sew out much prettier than they look on the computer. I just love playing around with these. Reason for doing the lady bugs, I am going to put them on the Mystery Quilt we did at the Lawrence County Quilted Treasures Quilt Guild. I better get busy cause our next meeting is Monday. I would like to get these sewn on and the border before then.
