This quilt is a machine embroidered (Debbie Mumm Designs) machine pieced and machine quilted project. It is the first quilt in which I used my embroidery module to do a lot of the quilting using gold metallic thread. At the time(July 2000) it was a rather new concept to use the embroidery module to quilt the quilt sandwich. Because the newer larger hoops were not yet invented I had to hoop the quilt over 100 times to finish the quilting process.
The quilt measures 49 1/4 inches square and is 100 % cotton, machine pieced and machine quilted.
This quilt was my entry into the Yardley Makefield Needle,Thread and Yarn Group's "Christmas In July" Challenge. We have since changed our name to the "Sew What's".
This quilt was selected by the Byrne Sewing Connection in New Britian, PA to be part of their exhibition "New Quilts of The Delaware Valley" at the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza VII in September 2000.
It now hangs year round in my quilting studio.
