Quilty Embellishment Day (QED) For October

I've been working on my Expanding Possibilities quilt for a long time now. One of the things that is taking so much time is the layers of embellishment. It started with the design.

Dimensional flying geese

Machine embroidery (Urban Threads desig)


More machine embroidery (Urban Threads desig)

Quilting - adding words to the quilt.
Layers of embellishment = layers of love!
