Several women have asked about the twist pattern.
I googled 'garden twist' or just 'twist' in quilt patterns.
I first saw this pattern with cats and mice on it and have loved it ever since.
I am excited to be finally doing another quilt for myself.

Have found the jacobean patterns I wish to use and have bought some different threads to add to the floss that i have already.
Decided to do just leaves on the small squares tho.

another using machine embroidery that was made by my friend Joan.
this quilt goes out in the yard for teddy bear picnics ...it goes camping[in tents] used for a cubby etc...is then washed on the gentle cycle and the whole deal starts all over again.

Miss Mouse sewing room embroideries.
i made several of these machine embroidered quilts in this design as the little girls loved them so much
