Homestead Machine Embroidery Blocks



I am home from my trip to Kentucky, Ohio, and the Antique Roadshow.  Unfortunately, my cousin and I aren't rich but we are rich with good memories of the day spent in Cincy at the Roadshow.

I began working on some Homestead machine embroidery blocks today.  This is one of Anita Goodesign's new Special Editions.  It includes tree, animal, quilt, and building blocks.  I plan to do one of each and make a small sampler for a friend.  Later this evening I hope to begin the block with a hanging quilt.   My fabrics are brighter than the sample from Anita Goodesigns.  As many of you know, I am using up my stash and these were the colors I selected.  I'm liking it.  Blocks are 7" when finished.  It's good to be back in the studio after dealing with health issues and vacation.  I do have a few medical procedures scheduled this month but I'm hoping the end is near.
