These are the signature keepsake quilts I’ve made for beloved family.
Each design was personalized and the names & messages collected on the wedding day, continues to remind each couple, how treasured they are. 🥰😘❤️

Anyone else make cherished signature quilts for your family?

✂️ Even after being so careful - not to cut the scissor fob I made… 😢

Time to make another!

A most useful tip, when preparing your appliqué patches – If you use pinking shears to cut curves, it avoids most of the need to clip.🪡🧵

I continue to get joy from seeing the series of Let’s Play mini quilts, I made last year.
Every month I hang a different one on my little hanger, to decorate this corner. 🥰💙💛
FYI: The series is still available (free), if you’re inspired to play.

…Beginning to get the urge to add to the collection! 😁
I’ll put some thought into what colours to play with next. 🤔

You can see I’ve been hand stitching with a variety of threads - all in pinks & blues. 🩷💙

I keep the small container, in my stitching bowl, as a temporary place to keep the thread ends together.

How do you keep your hand stitching tools together?

Just finished binding my wall hanging. Now to take some pictures for my blog. This picture is my hand sewing kit. Back when I learned to sew, I used to put my threads in my mother's decorator ashtray. No one was allowed to use it as an ashtray, but I could put my stray threads in it. I have regretted never owning an ashtray for my threads. More recently I acquired a Mikasa trinket bowl from an elder who was downsizing. I now have a more elegant thread catcher than a jar lid.

The Silk Ribbon block has now been added to the quilt. 🪡🧵
Isn’t it pretty? 😍 👏🥰

Finally got to begin some enjoyable hand stitching time, but then quickly stabbed my thumb, with the needle 🪡 , and now I need to wait until it stops bleeding 🩸 * , before I can start stitching again. 🙄

*who knew there’s a drop of blood emoji! 😆

…so I’m posting this while I wait, as I knew #quilters & #stitchers & #embroidery artists would understand! 😂
