    Default Sugar Skulls
    I machine embroidered on my Janome, pieced the blocks, appliquéd the center figures. I did some thread painting on the leaves in the center. I added the Swarovski crystals individually, which photographs never seem to capture, it sparkles. I hand sewed the roses in the border, each one took about two hours, my arm was sore! It is currently on display in a employee art show. So fun to make.

    Love it! You really went all out on this. The fabric roses around the outside really send this quilt over the top.
