<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis is a quilt top my sister made. She asked me to embroider the words. It’s the very first thing I ever digitized, although the medical emblem is the only part I did from scratch. This is the best (only) photo I have of it. It was low resolution and it was lying on a table at an angle. It was also had not been batted and quilted yet. I did my best to straighten it out, but the embroidery is still blurry. I think it shows well enough that it came out nicely, though. And it’s hanging in the hospital where Paul worked, which is a good sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA few years later I made this for my sister. It’s more of a composite and tweaking of designs in my digitizing program than my own design . . . an embroidery collage, if you will. I can’t find my photos of it (this is the program generated picture). Hers is on green linen and hangs, framed, in her home. If I remember, I’ll get a new picture (one of) the next time(s) I visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both of these are for the two largest size hoops, and unfortunately will not reduce. I’m considering redoing the parts that don’t shrink (mostly lettering), but that’s a big “if”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI actually did this last year. It has glow-in-the-dark thread. I was unhappy with the way it stitched out. The edges pulled. I was told adjusting density would fix it, but it looks like that will leave the center too thin. I need to restitch to know. Meanwhile, my sister said she didn’t think the pull was a problem. Anyway, this design has several variations in different sizes, so between testing a new stitch out and creating the different formats, this one won’t be there until later this week (barring major interruptions and distractions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
