Embroidery Marathon – 30 hours of stitching in 2 days!!
By Serena Smith | September 29, 2009
Sometime there comes a point when it’s time to stitch and stitch and stitch!!! Which is what I’m doing right now! I’ve decided in the next two days (today & tomorrow) I have 30 hours of machine embroidery that needs to be done! It’s amazing just how many designs you can stitch in a day. Although it’s not something I recommend doing every single day. :)
Here’s a few of the pics of some of the designs I’ve stitched so far. My goal is to have three embroidered center medallion blocks stitched. And yes, that is LOTS of embroidery!
The start of the center appliqué design for the center medallion.
And I just can’t resist trying another color – purple! Love it!!!
Center appliqué design in the center medallion block.
It’s usually a good idea to completely cover the appliqué area with fabric. Works much better; trust me on this one! ;)
Ahhh….yes! Much better!
Looking wonderful!! Teal colorway for the quilt and this design is in the center of the center medallion block.

That looks beautiful but I have to tell you that some embroideries take hours to finish out.

Yes, you are right….these designs vary from 40 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.

With all of the beautiful color combinations I can see that one Latte quilt is not enough. The Latte I am doing for class is the pink combo of Lamour Satin and Fairy Frost.
I love the class. With just the first block I have learned so much more about embroidery and my machine.
Thanks Serena,
Rosemary
