I am back with further admiration for Sue Box Designs.
I refuse to go through the hassle of stitching badly digitised embroideries and so I tend to stay with the designers I know never come into this category and she never seems to sell a bad design.
I bought some of her Timeless Teddy designs when there was a not to be missed deal on some months ago. When I was looking to make a baby quilt they were the obvious ones to use.
I had never made a triple Irish Chain design quilt so I thought I would have a go. Unfortunately my first attempt ended up with a rather long, thin quilt but I solved this problem by making it into two square quilts, eminently suitable for protecting both floor and baby. I think floor quilts for babies are a very sensible idea. We never wear shoes in our house yet the carpets still need cleaning from time to time and as for houses with dogs, well what can I say?
Obviously serendipity.
The thing that always strikes me with her designs is that the original artwork is superb. However, the detail in the artwork must make for a lot of work in the digitising.
If you want to try out her designs there are lots of free ones on this link. If you want to try out a particular collection before buying each collection has a free sample. The one for the teddies is the last one I posted above.
If you fancy making a triple irish chain google it. There are lots out there but this one is easy to understand.
