![]() ![]() I got my first embroidery machine nearly 20 years ago. It is kind of frustrating… but, of course, there is an alternative. Try as I may, I’ve never been able to embroider quite as well. Unfortunately, the hand embroidery kind of skipped me. I can sew, crochet, do some woodworking, and lots more because of her. I was ecstatic when, as a surprise, she re-created a hand-embroidered nursery rhyme blanket for me when my youngest child was born. That blanket stayed with me throughout my childhood years. My favorite was one she made with nursery rhyme characters. My mom would sew the squares together to make fun quilts. She’d clamp a square into a metal hoop, separate a stretch of embroidery floss, and work that pattern until she had a beautiful work of art. There were iron-on designs that she would add to fabric squares. Growing up, I remember my mom making the most intricate embroidery designs by hand. ![]() Then I’ll take you through the process of how I made this adorable baby blanket. Did you see the cover image for this article? Isn’t it super cute? When I saw the design for these sweet baby bugs I knew I was going to be making something! How did I do it? Let’s chat a little bit about machine embroidery and quilts.
