Mi casa es su casa means My house is your house, the ultimate welcome to guests in your home. You often see these made of talavera tile in souvenir shops. I found this version of a machine embroidery design from Embroidery Library. It took about an hour and a half to stitch out, well worth it.
I used two layers of stabilizer, as there is heavy embroidery. Instead of ripping the stabilizer off after stitching, I left it on and layered batting and backing fabric. It gave the piece lots of stability and subsequently, it was easier to do the free motion quilting on it. I used a scrappy orphan block as my backing fabric, which really makes it truly homey, plus I am determined to use up my scrappies. I added a thin gold ribbon to hang it up easily. Due to two layers of stabilizer it almost feels like very heavy cardstock, perfect for wall hanging.

Love it! Pretty colors and perfect saying.
Yes, for two sheets of stabilizer for dense designs. I often float an extra piece just a little larger than the design. I also use a fusible sheer product on the back of applique fabric.
Great project!
