The embroidery is on this baby gift quilt, with space on the bottom for name and birth date. Of course I didn't want the whole verse, so it says "You Are My Sunshine, You Make Me Happy, How Much I Love You." I mentioned before that the pattern is a disappearing nine patch.
Got to say that I love, love the design positioning on my Viking Diamond. It makes placement so much easier, since each line took two hoopings. I used a wash-away stabilizer, trimmed it closely, and gave the quilt a wash. It turned out softly crinkly, which I like.
Maybe, in a perfect world, I would have done the embroidery before the quilting so it wouldn't show on the back. I thought about that, then decided that I'd rather have the embroidery on top of the quilting so the quilting would be consistent. I used the same gray thread on the bottom that I used on the top and the back looks neat, it's just that the lettering is reversed.
Deep breath, and on to the next baby quilt.
my favorite song. And perhaps the only one I remember singing to my babies--even if it is a very sad Civil War song that widows sang.
