Country Garden Stitchery

I finally finished all three tulip embroidery patterns and made them into a wall quilt for my bedroom. I liked how it turned out, but again I learned a lot from this project. I didn't measure my fabric for the embroideries beforehand so one was off and my block was off to so I had to add fabric ( on the middle block). Did you notice before I told you :) I'm getting good at improvising if nothing else I guess! I am very excited though, these patterns will be distributed by Pattern Peddlers in the near future. Getting them ready to send. I am working on another set of five that I will use in a wall quilt too. My walls should be very colorful in the next coming weeks.

I am working on a 9 patch wall hanging to decorate my daughter's room. Very new to quilting so this seemed an easy project to start with. The different mix of pinks is fun to work with and the dainty dresses fabric. I can see myself becoming a fabric collector very quickly. I will post the finished quilt, hoping it is presentable. It seems to be turning out okay so far.

I am very excited about this new embroidery design I am working on. I am using Gentle Art Sampler flosses on ivory quilting fabric and the varigated floss adds so much interest. I am using stem stitch on some of it and back stitch on some for variation. I am already planning which quilt fabrics to use when I make a wall hanging out of it. I plan to do three similar designs to make an oblong wall quilt.
