Baby Quilt

This adorable baby quilt was made by Barb. It has the best John Deere fabric ever! It is the pink squares! The dark brown squares are Minkee and this was my first time to quilt on that type of fabric. It quilted up without any problems.

Click to enlarge photo to see the meandering flower design. Ahhh, the baby should be here soon and will we snuggling under this in no time.

Carol's Quilt



I love to hear a quilter say "I am making a quilt for myself, I have never done that before."

Carol did that. All of the beautiful quilts she has inspired me with, over the years we have known each other, were given away as gifts or for charity.

Not this one, she did a fabulous job!

Lilac Hill

Look at those borders, triangles!
Kathy made this lovely quilt for the local quilt shop as a sample. It has a overall stipple with leaves and flowers. Very pretty fabrics from Moda called Lilac Hill, I just love the green/purple color combo! Click on the picture and you can see the details.

Don't you just love the little birds on the house?

Spring is here

And for Finished stitches that has brought several quilts for babies and young children. Here is an adorable quilt Sue made for her granddaughter's first birthday. I love the pink and the flowers are so cute in the fabrics.

An all over freehand flower with a few ribbons and butterflies are on this quilt.

Custom Quilting

This is my first custom quilt for Holly. I found that this was really fun and stretched me creatively. The liberated quilt piecing allowed for the different stitches. I think the stitches show up when the pictures are enlarged. Lovely quilt!

Design Wall Monday



I made three more Civil War Diary Quilt Blocks. I have a 100 piece block to do this week. I am sure it will be great! I have 20 blocks left to do. I am so close to finishing it.

I have been quilting and you can see two quilts I finished here.

I am going to complain about the snow on Palm Sunday. My son had his driving test in it, and he passed, I am so thrilled for him. Off to the Secretary of State this week for his license! OK I am done complaining now. Now to scrape my car's windows and get to work. Have a great Monday all!!

Two More


Allison's Dear Jane is a masterpiece, I took a pic on my couch. It will look lovely in her living room. Stitched with a floral design.


The is Alice's quilt for a much anticipated baby for a family member. I love the little monkeys, so I stitched curls that reminded me of monkey's tails and leaves that are big like banana leaves!

Ladies, these are gorgeous!
