I tested these for the digitizer and they were just so cute I couldn’t let them just lay around as samples so I put them together in this quilt!
I live in Oregon so I went to the Fabric Depot and bought the backing material. The monsters were so cute and went with the adorable designs Heidi digitized.
I am really not a quilter but occasionally get the bug. I have given so many other quilts to my grandbabies i think I will save this one for my first great-grandchild since my oldest granddaughter is a senior this year. Nothing like thinking ahead!
I have bought many of Heidi’s deisgns in the past and loved them so I couldn’t resist when she she was looking for someone to try out these designs.

Really cute! I’m just starting to get into quilting. I’m 66 years old so I want to learn so much. Have you ever design a quilt using your embroidery machine? I would like to make different embroidery blocks. Would you cut your blocks first and then embroidery or embroidery first then cut your blocks? I hope I made myself clear. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks, Doris
In answer to Doris Oldenburg, I have done all my quilts with embroidery. I cute the squares bigger to fit my hoop , do my embroidery and then center the ruler on the design and cut to the right size. I have done both 4×4 designs on 6 inch squares and 5×7 on 8 inch squares. I love using my embroiderys this way and they are all one of a kind quilts. Try it and see how much fun it is. That is the only kind of quilts I would ever do. Much easier than cutting all those little pieces. Candy
I still look at this quilt and love all of the colors, you have great color choice.

I love the quilt and I am also just learning to make quilts. I am sort of doing it by trial and error. I hpe mine turn out half as good as yours.
Candy,
Thanks so much for this helpful advice. Your quilt is adoreable and beautiful. Doris
This is absolutely beautiful!! You did an amazing job!

What is written on the corner squares? is it a monster poem? I can’t read it or make the picture big enough for reading.; I love the monsters and found the same fabric right after it came out — plan to make rice pack covers with them.
i have used this design and loved it. do you digitizing for other peaple, i just started machine emb and not even sure if my machine does it, but i have scanned in designes and saw they did not sew correctly, this may be what is missing
( dumb, dumb ) I love the reading room i learn sooooooo much. THANKS TO ALL WHO WRITE.
Love the farics. Isn’t it great when you find fabrics that match the embroidery so perfectly. I think you did a great job. Cute quilt.
