Sew Many Stitches!

It's often hard to show progress on a hand quilted quilt.  The process is not fast, and in the case of my trailing vines quilt there aren't different blocks to showcase. The quilting design doesn't change much,
so each strip is pretty much a repeat of the it's previous strip. But I must say, I love quilting quilts like this.   Each quilting session allows me to just the enjoy the many stitches this quilt is calling for.



I am linking up with Kathy's quilt. She is asking her fellow slow stitchers to share a favorite Christmas decoration that we have stitched.  I made this Thimbleberries wreath pattern years ago.  I love pulling it out each year, it reminds me how I first started my quilting journey.  Like most I just plunged in not knowing alot and this piece reminds me how far I have come in my journey.

  2. So fun to see your vines quilt again and what a pretty wreath! I was thinking this morning that I really need to make a wreath or tree type of little quilt to hang in December.

  5. Your quilts are beautiful. I love hand quilting as well and just finished one that I posted yesterday evening. I do put my binding on by machine, before hand hemming it. The quiet process of hand quilting is such a comforting way to spend an evening watching TV.

  7. Yes, so many stitches but also so many fabrics used and in such small size. Very interesting to look at.

  10. Lovely stitches! I have one quilt flimsy that I've been waiting for a long time for it to tell me how it wanted to be quilted. It finally did. Isn't it funny how the quilt sometimes really does dictate the quilting??! :)

    1. Yes, it's the same for me, I know when I have stumbled across the right quilt design and then it's just a matter of getting it done.
