sister love...

My sister, LeAnn, loves to do hand work.

I used to love it - but not so much anymore - so I'm glad she still loves it!

She also understands my passion for Pyrex bowls and dish towels.

 

 

This is what she comes up with:

 

 

Is that just about the cutest embroidery work ever?

 

 

 

  Here's one of my flowered pink dishes that matches the little dish on top...

 

 

I love my stacking mixing bowls...

 

 

 

Thank you, sister, for the perfect gift!  I love you...

Christmas quilting....so pretty!

Bonnie, from my state of Montana, made this absolutely darling wall quilt.

 

 

 

She has an embroidery machine with absolutely darling designs.

The details are amazing!

 

 

 

I love it!

It hangs in her entry way in her home.

The Gingerbread guys & gals stole my heart!

 

 

And I love the stockings that are hung in front of the brick fireplace.

 

 

Thank you, Bonnie - my friend, for letting me quilt on this cute Christmas piece!

 

 

 

 

Wouldn't you just love to have your stockings filled with these goodies?

 

  

 

Clover and Violet quilt

Jennie, the daughter half of Clover and Violet, recently sent me a quilt to be quilted.

It completely depicts the colors of clover and violets!

She and her mom create the most beautiful hand embroidery designs.

Here are a few photos of a baby quilt I quilted for them:

 

 

So springy!

 

 

Flowers, butterflies - makes me happy!

 

 

This label is among the other embroidered blocks on the front of the quilt - precious!

 

 

Embroidery adds so much to quilts. 

I'm seeing it more and more these days.

 

 

Jenny wanted flowers quilted all over the quilt...

 

 

LOVE the swag!

Perfect stitches!

 

 

Each block is stitched in the ditch (outlined) with quilting.

 

 

I had so much fun creating fluri-ness!

 

 

Beautiful little quilt! 

Thank you, Jennie, for letting me add my flowers to your "Garden Steps".

 

 

Are any of you working on floral quilts or embroidery?
