Gasp. So beautiful - what an inspiration!

Gorgeous, beautiful, awesome, magnificent are just a few adjectives to describe your wonderful work !! You have created heirlooms to be treasured forever & as the saying goes "priceless".

WOW These are stunning. What a talent you have been blessed with.

Your quilting is awe inspiring - so many textures and patterns in one little stocking! I join the other in asking that you please post again when you have them all finished. Can't wait to see how you embellish them!

Awe inspiring! Will be looking for your completion post.

I would. Love to see the finished products. These are GEORGEOUS!

Beautiful stockings. I used to a lot of heirloom sewing with shadow work embroidery and smocking, Martha Pullen was my favorite and her shows in Arlington, Texas was a yearly have to go to.

I am thrilled to share these - before purchasing my long arm I was dabbling in this style of heirloom quilting on my domestic machine and was having a great time. It has taken me almost a year to get to this point on my long arm...where I can do detail work! I have an older machine so it's a little more finicky to move...and I also have no stitch regulation so the learning curve was a bit longer...but I'm thrilled to be able to create this kind of quilting...finally!!

These are Victorian/heirloom inspired stockings. I'm a huge fan of Cindy Needham and her linen quilts and I am making three stockings for each of my daughters in that style. I want to add beads and vintage lace to these when done, but I'm still playing and making it up as I go! Fun!! :)

The first photo is a close up of the front of the first stocking, and the second is the reverse side. I think I'm going to do these trapunto effect feathered backings for all three, but the front will have different patterns.

I think these are just BEAUTIFUL!! Your quilting is exceptional!!!!!

I am in love with the work you did. Just beautiful! I have always loved whole cloth quilts, and these are so elegant.
