I was looking through my stash of material for something white to add to Taylor's quilt and I came upon some bigger pieces. So I thought I'd through them together for Simon. And I've been dying to practice my stippling with my new Embroidery Foot. Which I received yesterday. I was/am so excited.
I ran out of white thread so I only got about half way around the outside edge. Stippling I think is harder than it looks. I'm glad I'm using Simon's new Car's blankie as my practice. I am definitely NOT a pro, but I love the crinkly way it looks. 
And, I don't remember who said it but they were right, use a thread color that matches your material. I was an absolute wreck sewing on the blue with the white thread. The backing of the quilt is a dark blue and looks horrible, but it is the back so I'm not too worried about it. This is some of my better stippling...But now I do see one part that I don't like too well.
P.S. Don't worry Staci, I'll eventually get to your's. (Unless you want to fight Simon Cooper for the Car's Blankie.)

Quilters amaze me. It really does take talent!
For those of us that are craft challenged, what is an embroidery foot? I have mental pictures that are probably not accurate LOL
Practice, practice. I love to sew and used to quilt, maybe someday I will have time for that again!
I think that looks pretty darn good!! Naw, I'll let Simon keep his blankie...for now :)
Looks great. I'm craft challenged so I have no clue, but I love it.
I wish I could do that kind of thing! It's really cute!
