Sarah is our Queen of machine Embroidery on the Aurifil team!

Hi I’m Pat Sloan, the Aurifil Designer of the Month coordinator. I’d like to introduce you to our March Aurifil Designer, Sarah Vedeler!

Sarah is our Queen of machine Embroidery on the Aurifil team! I must tell you that until I’d seen Sarah’s work I was not sure how I could use machine embroidery. Sarah’s unique collections are stunning, so stunning she has already started to win awards for her quilts! Let’s meet Sarah and see her dazzling “Eclipse” project, which she has in 2 sizes!

We are encouraging you each month to make our designers project. Post your photo at our Flickr folder and one quilter will win a prize of Aurifil thread! Post a photo of your completed top anytime before Feb 1, 2012
