Baby Quilt is complete, soft greens and blues

Image
The newest baby quilt is complete.  This quilt was embroidered and then pieced with lovely greens and blues cotton fabrics.  The inspiration were the two floral fabrics, they are new and modern, but have a vintage vibe that I really appreciate.  The reverse is a polka dot fabric.  The colors are soft and lovely and make a sweet quilt.  The quilt is available for purchase at my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Duckwells?section_id=15501161&ref=shopsection_leftnav_3

Embroidered Cards - A Fun Way to Use my Sewing Maching

Image
Several years back, I started making embroidered greeting cards for friends and family.  The cards slowly became more elaborate and more fun to create.  Some card samples are below and additional cards are on my website at www.duckwells.com.  I also have cards available for sale at my shop:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/Duckwells?section_id=15501027&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2 Using special pieces of fabric for the cards adds special meaning.  For my wedding thank you cards, I used swatches of my wedding dress fabric as the background.   Please contact me if you're interested having me create custom cards for you.
