Pretty colors! Neat work!
Love the hand quilting in different colors!
That is beautiful!
Those little stitches really do add a lot of charm. Beautiful!
I am impressed with her neat, tidy stitches. What a lovely doll quilt!
the handstitched accent is beautiful
I love the fabric! The hand stitching just makes it look so finished.
Love the Dresden plate…especially with the Freshcut!
Beautiful colors, and the stitches are exquisite! Nicely done.
This is adorable!
I love this one. I am a fan of the dresden plate and this one seems so cheery.
I love this! It’s beautiful.
I would love to win – love to add hand stitching to quilts.
I often get so caught up in the piecing that I forget the skill of *quilting.* Straight lines are so soothing and meditative to me, but I need to practice curves…
LOVE the palette!
i love this stitching!
What lovely tiny blanket stitches.
I love seeing the neat, uniform stitches all in a row. Lovely work.
I love that quilt design! My great grandmother used to make quilts similar to that design.
I really like the colors that she chose, along with the star design. The hand stitching is so delicate yet it adds so very much to the appeal of the quilt!
What a great idea to quilt with embriodry thread! (Someday maybe my stitches will be neat enough that I want them to show like that, lol!) I love the doll quilts and the bunnies at the top of your blog are some of the cutest things I’ve ever seen, are those finger puppets?
WOW! That’s gorgeous! Definitly need to add that to my to-do list!
The hand quilting is beautiful! The different colors really add to the quilt.
This is amazing! My stitching is no where near this even!
I love this! Great inspiration!
All these wonderful talneted hand sewers! that is lovley.
This is beautiful and inspiring!
I just love this- I’ve gearing up for some hand quilting. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is a great example of why I’m fascinated with quilting. The colors and textures in this piece meld so beautifully!
Oh I love this! I could totally do it!
That is sooooo pretty!
Just beautiful…love the colored thread and the work around the ‘petals’.
Last year grandaughters received doll quilts they were a very big hit with them…
Such a pretty choice of colors.
Beautiful!!
Simply love it! Must check out Rita’s blog.
This one is really lovely!
I love it!!! I so enjoyed this month of hand sewing. These are very talented people !!!! Thank you all off you for sharing your talents
I really like the different colors and the details. Very pretty.
Beautiful effect of the gradation of colors in the hand quilting. Nice job!
What lovely hand stitching. It really enhances the project. I love the colors used
in the piece as well.

Unbelievably cute! I gasped when I saw it. Truly, I did!
It’s lovely – so simple and so effective.
This is really beautiful!

Beautiful, I love the Dresden plate pattern and the fabrics chosen.
Precious and pretty
I too love the colors of your stitching but I think I like the echo stitching instead of something else. Very Nice!!
What a beautiful doll quilt! This hand sewing month is really inspiring. Thank you =)
Perfect. Just beautiful.
love this block- i love the colour against the white.
Maybe I should have a go at hand quilting!
Lovely! The hand stitching really does add texture to the piece.
Oh so lovely.
So simply and yet so cute!!!!!
Beautiful! I love the quilting of different colours on this quilt, and all of Rita’s other amazing quilts and embroidery!
I LOVE this example of hand stitching. It’s so well done and adds such charm…lovely!
I’ve avoided hand stitching because it seems too tedious, but the photo proves that it works really well for small projects like the doll quilt. I think it’s given me motivation to go ahead and try it!
very pretty dresden quilt
So very beautiful & my fingers are aching just looking at all that gorgeous stitching!!
So now I have to do a Dresden Plate pillow!
what a beautiful example of hand stitching. keeping me inspired to make that doll quilt for my little one’s birthday!
that quilt is beautiful! it gives me some ideas for some extra fabric i have . . . thanks!
This is very pretty. I love the hand quilting in different colors.
What adorable doll quilits – I especially loved the bird with zigzag – my girls would adore one for their “babies”.
I’m so glad I found this beautiful site recently. I was looking for something entirely different, but “Queen Anne”s Lace” brought you up. And what serendipity, because I was wondering what little bit of embroidery I was going to put on the little pillow I just made for the bed in the guest room! And I love the fabrics. I think I am already considering myself a customer and I haven’t even had time to order anything yet!
love the fabrics
Very pretty, and nice cheerful colors!
The hand stitiches really do add charm, as it makes the fabric ‘pop’!
Oh I love it!
This is fantastic!
Such beautifully even stitches!
Very nice! I love the different colors of quilting thread!
Very lovely work! I really love the colors used
I love the quilts and all the embroidery. I spent a wonderful half hour looking at everything on your website. You are a very accomplished sewer. Beautiful stitching.
Wonderful inspiration! And wonderful stitching!
I love the buttonhole stitch around the pieces! I think buttonhole stitch adds a fantastic touch to most projects!
That is really cute. I love quilts that are quilted in ripple lines like that.
I am currently repairing a quilt for a friend. The thread her Grandmother used is deteriorating and the quilt top is falling apart. I never thought about using a blanket stitch to secure the patches. That is a beautiful idea! Thanks!!
Pretty! I really like how the variegated thread works here.
That is so pretty. Beautiful work!
Wow that is so beautiful. I just wish I had the patience for hand sewing.
The blanket stitching really adds a subtle touch! I love the look of this.
That picture is inspiring! I can’t wait till the kids go back to school so I can leisurely fabric shop and work on my projects!
How darling.
I love the changes in thread color. This is beautiful.
I love this color pallette!!
What a great way do do some hand stitching without committing to a huge project! Great colors too!
Love the vintage look of the quilt and the definite charm added by the hand quilting. Love it!
This is gorgeous!
That is so beautiful … and I could handle it in doll sized
Wow! That is amazing! The colors and stitching give the pattern such an interesting, beautiful touch. That inspires me to do better.
i really and truly love hand-quilting, and wish i had enough to time to do this on all of my quilts!
This is very pretty. I’m going to go on over to her blog to find out more on this quilt.
I love hand-quilting. I especially love doing it with company!
She has such beautiful creations on her blog!!
Very beautiful. I hope I can be that good someday.
Beautiful colors! Every time I see hand quilting I think, “I should really do more of that…” More meaning any at all really!
I wishi was the doll sleeping under that quilt!
how beautiful!
Wow! I love this!! Y’all just might get me hooked on hand quilting. Of course admiring someone else’s and finishing my own are two very different things, but you might…
Thanks for the idea of handquilting in multiple colors. I just may try that on my next handquilting project. It looks great!
I love this. It reminds me of the “old days”. This is my favorite thing from August.
thanks a bunch for this month’s wonderful collection of hand-sewing goodness! i will be returning here over and over again!
I love the character the stitching added.
Just gorgeous!
The color palette is wonderful.
Wow, this really hit me strongly. When my sister and I were little, we had matching quilts on our beds that were Dresden plate designs — I don’t even know if they were handmade quilts, but I spent so much time looking at all the interesting fabrics around the wheels. The hand stitching on this doll quilt just emphasizes the wonderful handmade quality to me. It makes me almost sorry I’m expecting a boy, and that I’m already working on a knitted blanket for him!
Colored thread for the stitches is such a wonderful touch. I’m surprised we don’t see it more often. Then again, your precise little stitches are worth showing off!
Need to get off my computer and get to sewing! Such lovely quilt work!
The colors are so much fun! Nice!
very beautiful!
Breathtaking! This little picture is quite inspiring.
Gorgeous dresden plate quilt- I love your beautiful pink stitches- the quilting is terrific on it.
Thanks for sharing.
Warmest regards,
Anna
Oh my gosh, imagine my surprise to click over to SMS and see this FANTASTIC quilt made by my very dear friend Rita! Especially since … this very quilt hangs in my room. This quilt is even more amazing in person. Her attention to detail is truly stunning and Rita is one of the most generous crafters I know. Thanks for showcasing her!!!
breathtaking, this is so beautiful
