Stitched with love

Quilting is a hobby of mine.  I've only done simple, basic quilts, but I enjoy sewing them and knowing they bring comfort and warmth to family and friends.  Problem is with my little 'ol sewing machine the biggest quilt I've been able to complete is crib size.  (I've tied a few large quilts).

A couple years ago a friend of mine introduced me to Buggy Barn quilts which use fat quarters...you cut and sew according to directions and viola, in no time (seriously) you've got a really fun quilt top.  I found a "daisy" quilt pattern and thought it would be a darling heirloom for my girls.  So, I went to work cutting and sewing and during a stressful week last winter when we were waiting for Grace's MRI and the results I finished the quilt tops.  Problem was they are nearly twin size, so I couldn't quilt them unless I wanted to spend at least every night for a year quilting by hand.  It almost came to that until my friend, Ellen referred me to a woman with a long arm quilting business in Iowa.  The price was right and I happily sent all 3 quilts off.  Today the came back to me!  It's Christmas in April:)  Debbie used a really cute wandering daisy stitch on all 3 quilts and it looks so nice with the daisy blocks.   

This is really one part of a larger project which I'll share in a few weeks.  These are just the quilts waiting to be bound.  ....if you are looking for a long arm quilter I'd love to pass along Debbie's card.
