I have a Janome 350E , which is an embroidery machine. I haven't used it in a while, and as I am feeling so much better with my hand, I decided to make an Elizabethan style quilt using embroidery designs that I had that I have been wanting to use for a long time. I have been working on it since Friday, and I finally finished it. I just love how it turned out, and it was so much fun! I have my embroidery machine in the bedroom on a table in the corner, so I had a lot of peace and quiet to do it.
Joe and I took a lovely walk to Tramore Beach. It's a long walk over the sand dunes, but it is well worth the walk, as the beach is just lovely. It is a very private, secluded beach, and most times is empty, as not too many people want to take the long trek over the dunes. We had lunch on the beach , and it was so romantic. As you can see, Joe took some pics from the last sand dune we climbed, and the scenes are breathtaking!

So glad to hear that you are feeling better.. and from the looks of the work you did.. WOW, Wowww! You certainly are doing better! That is just SOOOOOO beautiful! It is really elegant, and would make some truly beautiful things.. My mind is a whirl!
Hi Micki!
The views really are beautiful.
I too have an embroidery machine...rarely get it out! I'm so bad..perhaps when I get grandkids one day.
Such a beautiful embroidery! So romantic.
I just love that embroidery, Micki. It is so beautiful.
The view is spectacular. What a great walk!
Good to see you back to normalcy. Whatever that is really. Love the quilt and your snaps.
It's so nice to see you feeling well enough to use your embroidery machine. Your quilt is lovely.
Welcome back. Your embroidery is very nice. I have often thought about getting an embroidery machine just keept buying fabric instead.
That's gorgeous!! Love it!
Oh my Micki, you have been busy. I love your quilt.
Your little picnic looks like a beautiful place.
Beautiful embroidery. I love watching the machine doing the embroidery all by itself.
How very gorgeous, as is the countryside! I am envious on both accounts!
Turned out beautifully!!!
Just a little info on how to make your playlist fit your blog.
open up the HTML and change all of the areas that have the width and the hight. So if they are 400 by lets say 600. Change all of the areas you see that says 400 to a 200(there may be more than one area) and all of the 600's to a 300. I am not sure those are the numbers, but you can see it's changed by about half. Then save the changes and see how it turns out. If you need to adjust with other numbers or want to change it back you can. Hope I have explained well enough:)
Wow, Micki, this is gorgeous!!! Purely exquisite! I am so glad your hand is better---yay!!

Gee Whiz Mickie,
I cannot decide which is more beautiful -the project or the pictures Joe has taken. Glad I do not have to choose - they are both winners in my book as are you and Joe! :)
Beautiful project. I agree the view was breath taking. You live in such a wonderful place, I love the pictures,
