Quilting and Machine Embroidery

As many of you know, Number 2 on my Bucket List (Number 1 was to become a Master Gardener) was to learn to quilt.  Along the road to my goal, I was able to purchase a Viking Topaz 20 sewing machine which not only sews a nice straight line, but offers me machine embroidery.  I've been having a ball this Christmas season during my learning process.  I did make Knowlan a quilt last summer but now, with my new machine, I finished a quilt for Matt this weekend and was able to quilt each square using my machine embroidery.
I've completed many projects which mostly used machine embroidery and want to share them here.
Hope you enjoy seeing them.
