A New Stitch

Somehow, right now, I have multiple projects I am working on. So I am glad I have one done, so I can finish the next. I wish I had the quality of those who finish before they move on to the next, but I don't. I'm just getting really good at working on multiple projects at once.
I solicited some help to baste my quilt from my loving Grandpa, and mom... (I love this picture) Then I started, without practicing first, there is evidence of this in one of the corners A NEW STITCH. Yes pebbles, and.... I love them! And like they all say, it does take lots of bobbins and thread, but it was really fun to make all these different shaped pebbles.
I love the look of the pebble stitching on the straight white fabric.
(just messing around with photo editing.)
Finished quilt!
I'm still loving the stain glass window look!
I love that this quilt is not so much a "girly" quilt, and I love whirlygigs!
...now onto the next project.
