Sew Love Quilt Custom Quilt Wall Hanging

I should confess, I love the miniature quilts featured at quilt shows. Most people who start quilting start making a block or a small collection of blocks that can easily become home decor - as place matts, as table runners, maybe pillows - and as quilted wall hangings.

This charming custom handmade quilt celebrates the art of sewing quilters develop as well as quilting. Gana Harris used the opportunity of making this custom handmade quilt to learn wool applique, which is beautifully highlighted throughout this small work of art.

Such fun to see the different scenes in this custom quilted wall hanging. (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)

This and other small custom handmade quilts were featured at the Piece and Plenty Quilt Guild bi-annual festival in Rolla in 2019. This local quilt show features the work of a very talented cadre of quilters, some who I know personally through master gardeners.

And speaking of gardening, one of the charming scenes in this custom personalized quilt was a little scene with flowers, one of which is growing through a spool of thread. Look carefully and you can see the nice tiny embroidery work on the face of the blue flowers.

No surprise but I loved the little flower growing through the spool. (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)

Crazy quilts are also a personal patchwork quilt form so I was delighted to see it celebrated in this custom handmade quilt. There is a block with very small fabric pieces forming the crazy quilt design along with hand-embroidered flowers and different embroidery stitches, a hallmark of the Victorian-era quilts.

Now celebrating sewing would not be complete without including buttons and zippers. Those are included, too, although both made out of fabric.

So tempting to try out that zipper! (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)

If I could have purchased this custom handmade quilt it would have come home with me in a heart beat. This is a charming custom quilt that would make a lovely wall hanging in a quilter’s work room.

Gana Harris thought the same thing. In her quilt story, she mentions that this charming work of art will be going home with her to hand in her quilt room.

Glad to see a quilter actually enjoying her hard work. Often quilters focus on making custom handmade personalized quilts for friends and family and forget to save something for themselves.
