HAND QUILTING/STITCHING:
Our Finnish friend Teje, who lives in Greece and blogs at Nero's Post and Patch always inspires me with her beautiful HAND QUILTING. (Just know Teje, I had the hardest time selecting which quilt to highlight.) Here's a peek at Teje's Baby Steps Quilt.
It really showcases her hand quilting well:

Annnndddd I always love visiting Tanya Quilts in CO. Blog to see how she uses HAND STITCHING to add the most adorable features to her quilts like she did on this playful baby quilt:

HEIRLOOM QUILTS:
I'm a first generation quilter. My Aunt was a quilter, and she supported my desire to learn to quilt some twenty years ago as she bought me my first rotary cutter, mat and manual. But we never got to sew together. I will forever treasure this quilt she made for our youngest daughter's birth:
Since I'm a first generation quilter, I'm especially looking forward to this linky party! Looking forward to seeing your heirloom quilts!

so good to see what bloggers I do not follow are up to. Love the baby one, have one to make myself and rather like the idea of the embroidery on plain blocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Val, for showing my baby quilt! It was really fun to create that pattern and I enjoy always hand stitiching. I hope everyone would try hand quilting because it's much more easier and quicker than we expect. x Teje
ReplyDeleteSweet creations you featured here and your heirloom quilt is so pretty! Thanks for this party Val!
ReplyDeleteI think I linked my Dresden in the wrong one...first time at this party ( though not your blog ) so I got confused :)
ReplyDeleteI am a first generation quilter too actually but hopefully I'll pass that on ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! I am actually a first generation quilter too. My mom sewed clothes and crocheted.
ReplyDeleteYou always showcase such beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting gene skipped a generation in my family. My grandmother was a big quilter, my Mom and Aunt, not at all.
