Halloween Embroidered Quilt





Here are pictures of the halloween embroidered quilt I did in October.  Turned out nice but, oh, so time consuming since I went over the embroderies with black quilting thread.  They were so large, they had to have some quilting.
My first UFO is on the machine now.  Just finished the first border and the corner and inset triangles.  This is Sherman's March by Bonnie Blue Quilts. 

I did have to add a baby quilt to my UFO stack.  I got it pieced Christmas Eve and it is now in the "to be quilted stack". 

Red Snappers


I installed the red snappers I bought from Ranae (quiltsonthecorner.com).  They were quick and easy to install and made loading a quilt a <snap>.   No more being stuck with pins!!
