Ruru Embroidery

My daughter Mandy has been working on some embroidery designs and she recently made a quilt for a friends baby shower. Mandy loves embroidery and uses her design skill to create original designs, then she gets me to help her work out the design of the quilt and of course I get to quilt it. Here is a photo of me finishing the quilt on the long arm and a close up of the finished quilt.

Ruru is the Maori name for a NZ native owl, also known as a Morepork. Mandy has more designs she is developing featuring more native birds.

In the studio the ladies have been working on some original Christmas advent calenders that have personalised photos of their families. Its been a really great project, and a lot of work. I will try to remember to post some photos of the calenders soon. We get so busy during class time that I never take photos!
