I regularly purchase embroidery design sets when they are on sale. I have not started my planned "In the hoop" project yet, although I selected the fabric for it. I still need to do some digitizing. I purchased a longarm machine, Simply Sixteen. So my Bernina machine that was on the Bernina frame is now set up so that I can embroider on it. (Dedicated for this task)
I embroidered some Redwork for a red and white quilt and that really got me going. So when I complete that project I searched for something to embroider and plan how to use it in a quilt, I decided on the Flower Basket set from Cuddle me Crazy. I have this set in three sizes but decide to make the largest variety, I do have a jumbo hoop. The design is about 25 cm big.
Although one can get secondary designs when you arrange 4 identical designs in a circle, I prefer not to stitch four of the same designs out- specially not when it take 50 minutes and 20 colour changes for one design. In this set is 4 different baskets but I can keep the colour of the flowers the same, That will unify the designs. I plan to have a slender star design between this four designs.
Once I have completed the central star and baskets, I will plan further. I love to let a quilt design evolve as I go on.
I had to search for a suitable background fabric and is very satisfied with this one. I do however realize that I should shop specifically for this.
I just wanted to share my excitement. Hope you will enjoy this journey with me.

| The second basket design is slightly different as you can see here. |
