A sampler of stitches

Here is the finished quilt. And the next photos are close ups of the sampler of stitches I did on several blocks.


Holly leaves on the angel

Hearts and loops on the Valentine

Center is a flower with bananas around the golden ring

More bananas, I am crazy about them!

A little tiny flower in the center of the pineapple

Tiny clovers

And my leaf stitch on the Maple leaf block.

This is a wild and random assortment of blocks. The quilting was a fun opportunity to use an "anything goes" quilting on it. This is my quilt and I am very happy with the results.

And for the traditional star quilt of mine, I continue chose Wonky feather.

First Quilt of 2011 Finished!


This is a first quilt for Barb and her daughter will be thrilled. What a great job. The loops and circles complemented the quilt nicely. 

The long arm is ready for the next one!

Christmas gifts are so fun to finish!


Alice made another quilt and this  is another beautiful one! A disappearing 4 patch that is rich in its color choices. I used a copper thread to stipple the borders and use a ladyslipper stitch in the center. Lovely!!

More leaves and curls! Alice made this fabulous Four Patch Posie for the holidays. The stitches really show up on the black fabric.

Peaches and cream


Here is a little Christmas beauty. I quilted it with a pattern I think looks like Lady slippers. Great job, Alice, it will be loved!!

Wow, Finished Stitches has been busy


 This is the front and back of Allison's beautiful Christmas quilt. Stitched with Trinity leaf with ribbons for a festive holiday quilt.

 A similar stitch for Dorothy's fall table topper. How pretty for a Thanksgiving table!

 And for all you NASCAR fans, Maggie made this for a friend. Overall large stippling for a road appearance. So cute!

This is Joan's reversible Civil War Quilt. The top photo is the Southern states and the bottom Photo is for the Northern states. It is stitched with leaves and stippling. It looks like a map.

Thanks all you ladies for such inspiration and wonderful quilts to work on!!
