My favorite quilt project:
I’ve worked on multiple quilt projects and while I’ve mostly really enjoyed all of them, one in particular stands out as my favorite - the Candy Corn Quilt Shoppe quilts that I finished back in 2023.
I made the one on the left for myself and the one on the right for my mom. This was the first project of this type that I had worked on. The blocks were all created with my embroidery machine and then later embellished with a variety of elements. I learned so much from this project, including how to create background quilting for individual blocks, I discovered that I can embroider on mylar for an unexpected sparkle effect, and I also learned how to add dimension using foam under the embroidery. This project was so much fun (right up until the final stages when it became work, lol) and it sparked a desire in me to create similar projects in the future. As a result, I am now the proud owner of many more design discs and kits to make similar projects, including individual mini quilts for each month of the year (I’m nearly done with January!), plus larger fall, Christmas, and sewing related wall quilts as well.
