Here's a couple of pics of a Valentines wall hanging I finished while ago using a Thimbleberries panel. It measures 32" x 34". I did stippling in the focus panel and free-motion quilting in the border areas. I also did a blanket-stitch around the applique designs to give them more definition. Now to go hang this little sweetheart up!

How adorable! Nice work AGAIN, Eddie! :) (You always do such nice things!)

It's Beautiful!! :thumbup: What a beautiful job you have done on this project, for your lucky wife!! :D I keep telling my DH that he needs to start sewing & make things like this for me!! He just laughed!!
:D :D :D :D

Oh, I love it, it looks so sweety. Perfect for Valentines!

Very pretty!!

I love kids.
I love applique.
I love red.
I love quilting.
I LOVE this wall hanging, Eddie! :-D

You've said it well!!

YOU SURE DID !!!!!!!!!
bopeep

How sweet!

Did you make it for your sweetie?

OMG that is beautiful!

So pretty! I have to ask, where do you buy your fabric locally? We have no more fabric stores in Conway, so I've been going to a few in Little Rock/Alexander area. I'm thinking I may have to open my own in Faulkner County just because I am getting tired of driving so far!

So sweet!

Thanks, y'all! Yep, my sweetie liked it, too! :D

I go to Pinwheels Fabrics in Alexander a lot, was there this afternoon. My wife and I went there to buy fabric for mystery quilts we're making in our guild this year.

I also go to Hobby Lobby, both in west Little Rock and North Little Rock.

We went to the Joann's in NLR today as well, since we'd never been there. Was very impressed with all their fabric, they have a LOT.

We also go to a shop in Hot Springs called Hickory Hill Sewing Center. They have a very nice shop, although not as much fabric as say Pinwheels, but the people are super nice and they have some really interesting notions and patterns and such.

Have you been to the new shop in Pickles Gap, just east of Conway? I've heard good things about it and their online site looks nice.

I've been to pinwheels and love their store. I've also been to Hickory Hills, and you are right, the ladies are so helpful and nice! I go to Hobby Lobby in Conway, and occasionally I'll go to Joann's. You've peeked my interest, so I'm going to have to go back again. I did visit the Pickles Gap store after it initially opened. It may have grown since I was there, but I don't remember them having much selection. Super nice girl tho'. I just about got husband talked into taking another trip to Batesville (Marshall's). Last time I was there I got 70 yards of higher end fabric - free spirit, Moda, Marcus. Etc. Thanks for the info! Oh, and I forgot, we are building a cabin in Heber and the have the BEST quilting store there! Heber Sew and Vac. So nice,

I think this rates high in my eyes.

It is so adorable. Your quilting is awesome. Beautiful. :D :D :D

How adorable! Another winner! :thumbup:

Adorable. My daughter would love this one. Me, too. Where and when did you find this panel?
As always, you do extraordinary work.

Eddie, if you can find a bamboo stick (I had some a neighbor discarded couple of years ago), clean it up & run it through the loops, or maybe Wal-Mart has wooden rods that you can used. I'm sure places like home Depot or any building supply has wooden dowels. It is so sweet looking.

That is so cute. She is a doll. Great job as always.

That is really Beautiful....

Great Job with just a touch of Mary Englebreit.

It's wonderful!

sew cute.

that is to cute, the little girl looks like she hoping for the right person

Fantastic as always Eddie!! I love Valentine's Day and the beautiful cards and such.

How goes it with the flower garden pieces?

That is absolutely darling, you do such a great job. Your quilting is looking really, really good.

That's adorable!

WOW!!! Eddie, that is a beauty!!! Good Job :D:D:D

Just beautiful. I love the "old fashioned" look!

very nice......:-)

Oh how lovely!

Oh how adorable is that Eddie!

Can I ask, when you do your stippling..is it with a pattern or something?

I put together this very same panel for my daughter for her birthday last year. Her birthday is in February and so it was perfect. That got me started on making a wall hanging or table topper for her for every holiday. It has been fun for me and she loves it too!

Awesome quilt! Job well done

what they said :)

You did it again Eddie! Really great wall hanging!!

Where are the pictures??? Hmmmmm???

She's adorable! Great job!!

Adorable!!! Eddie, I just love your work. My friend and I were commenting yesterday about how prolific you are, and how much we like your color and fabric pattern choices!! Good work!!

Eddie, that is absolutely awesome!! I LOVE it!!! :) :)
