FUN WITH CREATIVE MACHINE STITCHES

Stupendous Stitching 
by Carol Ann Waugh
is one of the latest books I've 
added to my collection.
The book is designed to walk you through several techniques combining the decorative stitches programmed into your sewing machine 
and decorative hand stitching.  
I had a great time with this small 14" by 20" quilt created on hand dyed fabric.
Pictured here is the quilt in full from the front and the back and several details. 
I also embellished with buttons, and used a fused decorative binding for the boarder.
I'm looking forward to creating another 
quilt using this book and I really recommend it for your collection!
