I Started These Quilts in 2002
 

In 2002 I took my very first machine quilting class at Hancock Fabric. I was the gal's only student so I received a lot of attention. These 2 quilts were my 2nd and 3rd quilts. The green one is a Christmas theme and the other one is a Southwestern theme. I learned that I am not a match stuff up kind of quilter, I am a wonky quilter (as evidenced by the wonky hearts I quilted on the Southwestern quilt). I decided to use a decorative stitch to quilt the Christmas quilt. It only took me 12 years to do it, but they are done!

Good job - what's next

great quilts i have a few I need to finish too back in early 90s lol

Better late than never. They look great.

I'm glad you decided to finish them. Both are great.

Your quilts are lovely

very nicely done... never thought of using decorative stitches for quilting... i like the look

Great quilts and certainly worth waiting for!

Ah, those are so nice! Gotta love anything that's done! :wave:

Wow! That decorative stitch on the first one is very effective! And I love the wonky hearts. Adds great personality! Who cares how long it took. They are done and they are beautiful.:thumbup:

I have 3 wall hangings that are lacking binding. That's what I'm working on now.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your fancy stitches on the first one. Going to copy that idea for sure. Thanks so much for the inspiration and creativity. I have a quilt in my closet, unfinished since the 70's.

You did it! Yeah! Love that special stitch. Looks awesome on the diagonal.

Congrats on two great quilts!

Good job on finishing these. I've got 5 full size quilts waiting to be finished I stated this year x ahhhh

All of them are so very beautiful.

Hey, good things are worth waiting for! And these are surely beautiful. I'm glad you got them finished.

Very nice. At least you remember when you started them. I have a few that who knows when they were started. I didn't know the idea was to actually FINISH! LOL :) You did a good job and I like the idea of decorative stitching for quilting.

I only remember when I finished the top because I embroidered my name and the year on it when I was done. Otherwise I would have been clueless!

I am trying to finish my UFOs now. I love your quilts. The wonky hearts look like they were meant to be.

GREAT job in getting these done. You can cross two UFOs off your list and that is what really counts.

Great job! So much fun.

Congratulations and carry on!

Nice quilts, so now on to more quilts ?

Nice job! I have the first BOM I ever bought still in my UFO pile - need to work on it.

Those are really pretty!

The quilts are very nice but.............I have to tell you that I am in love with your hearts. As someone said it just to the quilt. BrendaK

It is so great to finish a quilt. They are wonderful! Luann

Those are really good! I like the wonky hearts...gives it your personal stamp on it😀

Well done! I truly love the colours in the blue one and as the saying goes "finished is better than perfect.

WOW............you did it & I can see that it was well worth the time & effort you put into making these two lovely quilts!!
:D :D :D :D

At least they are done. Great job.

I was once told that fabric, like fine wine, has to be aged, so why can't the same be true for quilts?

Congrats on your finishes

Beautiful quilts, I love your hearts. Thanks for giving me hope that I will one day finish the UFOs I have.

Lovely quilting.

Both quilts are great!

Great job!
