North Pole

These blocks were done on the embroidery machine....applique and embroidery. It took almost 2 years to finish it up. I started it in Jan, 2016....finished embroidery and piecing in July, 2017....and finally got it finished. 

It is 47" square

I like the border fabric. It is all shiny and sparkly. Although it looks like glitter, it is not....it is silver dots printed on the fabric....much better and cleaner than glitter.

I like how the horizon of the landscape all matches....no matter how you set the blocks.

The snow and sky were appliqued down first...then the rest. good thing I put all the fabrics i was using in a box together...so they would all match.

There is some pretty dense embroidery, but as long as i went a bit slower, i had no trouble quilting through it. and there were several layers of fabric.

Their detail is very nice....excellent digitizing.

The back is a flannel with snow covered trees....works well with this.
