Quilts

Embroidery and quilting go together beautifully. You can sew your test design squares into a doll quilt for charity, or embroider a special memory quilt for a family member. Quilts can be as simple or complicated as you wish.  Stitch a small wall-hanging, a baby quilt, a lap quilt or go crazy and make a bed quilt. Make quilted accessories such as placemats, appliance covers, coasters, baby bibs or burp cloths. Embroider the squares with a tear-away stabilizer, then trim and assemble the quilt top. Use quilting designs to stitch the layers together, using a thread to match the fabric for a traditional look or contrasting thread for a bolder look.

Never sewn a quilt before? Join your local quilt guild and you will learn to quilt like a pro!

I received several requests to design
an angel for our precious babies.
Those that make it as well as those
that don't. This angel is symbolic
of the guardian angel that
accompanies EVERY baby.
They are all so precious.
