One of my stitching passions is hand embroidery, especially combined with hand quilting. These are my two favorite finished projects so far:
Quilter's Blessings - pattern by Capricorn Quilts
Journey of a Quilter - pattern by Leanne Beasley
I love all kinds of hand stitching, but the combination of hand embroidery and hand quilting is just my most favorite.
Want to see my newest project? It is called "Life is Beautiful" and I am just getting started. Here is the block I am stitching this week... almost finished.I will post the finished block on Sunday when I host my weekly linky party for hand stitchers. You are welcome to join us - click here for more details.
Thanks for visiting! To resume visiting other stitchers at the Meet and Greet, click here.
Your quilts are so pretty! Love all of the stitching in both. Thank you for taking part in the Meet and Greet today.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen your Quilter's Blessings quilt before. It is really beautiful! I love the pure red and white -- clean and satisfying. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe red and white quilt is my favorite. And it will be even more my favorite when you get done with the quilting.
ReplyDeletevery nice - I just started making some red work blocks for a winter wonderland quilt - yours is so pretty
ReplyDeleteA couple of great projects, Kathy. I look forward to seeing more of your new one.
ReplyDeleteOh my great projects. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteLovely projects! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your `Quilters Journey` quilted. Mine is still work in progress! Plus lovely to see your start on `Life is Beautiful`. I have the fabric and threads but yet to start on this for me. Happy Stitching.
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery and quilting makes such a great combination. Your pieces are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove your Quilter's Blessing and Journey of a Quilter!
ReplyDeleteI loved the red and white quilt until I saw the 2nd quilt, LOL. I loved the new project too. Thanks for sharing your projects.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see so wonderful quilts like this two (especially the red & white one in the first pict) I think I should give quilting and handsewing a try. This looks so amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy to meet you!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hilda
Such lovely stitching!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching and I too love that Journey of a Quilter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts, a Journey of a Quilter style quilt is on my list of things to do, just at the collecting fabric stage!
ReplyDeleteI love embroidering and combining it with my quilting is the best of both worlds!! Lovely work and a great visit with other Meet and Greet blogs!!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching, your work is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow Kathy, your work is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have done the Quilters Blessings, but in a different setting as well and I have made an Leanne Beasley quilt too. Amazing to be able to find women who enjoy the same hobby.
Greetings,
Sylvia
Embroidery gives a patchwork quilt extra dimension and interest. Just curious, is that Lake St. Clair in the background?
ReplyDeleteI am getting back into embroidery again...so fun! Your work is amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very talented!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the slow Sunday posts and inspiration Your quilts are amazing! I haven't seen the Quilters Blessings one before. I am fairly new to embroidery and would love to make it myself but I have been unable to find the pattern anywhere. Any thoughts on where to find it would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts. Hand work is so relaxing, I don't have much time for it these days. I really enjoy seeing your projects develop.
