Flower Quilt Label Machine Embroidery

I made another design file using buzz-2-stitches!  I am going to use it for a quilt label!  The design was originally created by ARCHITECTE on www.shutterstock.com.

I am still getting the feel for the buzz-2-stitches program.  I am a little frustrated with the lack of detail it picks up.  However, I am not really blaming the program at this point.  I am sure it is the user!!  There are several options that can be selected to make the design come out better.  I just need to learn the right combination for each type of design!!

Magnifying Glass Embroidery Design

About six years ago I saw an I Spy quilt where they used a magnifying glass embroidery design to make it look like a big print fabric is hidden in a small print fabric.  A couple of up close pictures are below so that you can see what I mean.

So after so many years of wanting to try this, I did it!  I bought a magnifying glass embroidery design from Nobbie Neez Kids.  Then the fun began!!

After completing 20 blocks, I considered how to put the blocks together.  I decided to put some white sashing in between the blocks with a square on-point at the corners.  I have never made a square on-point, so it was a good learning experience! 

For the borders I used a shortcut way to create squares on point explained in The Border Workbook .

I am pleased with the final product. My dear daughter will be sporting this quilt on her bed once I get it quilted!

I think you should take a stab at an I Spy quilt using a magnifying glass design!!  You won't regret it!

Digitized Butterfly Embroidery Design

Using Buzz-2-Stitches, I made my first digitized design.  I am quite pleased with it.  I started with this butterfly vector image that was designed by pixelcraft and available on Shutterstock.

 I just had to go and try it out!  I embroidered the design on a scrap piece of fabric.  It turned out very nice if I do say so myself!!
