I'm not a quilter- I'm a patchworker! But very occasionally I feel that a patchwork is asking to be quilted!
For a long time some ladies at my church house group have been stitching HSTs together. They are not necessarily comfortable with a needle and thread, and some of the stitches are bigger than I would choose, but I'm all for encouraging them! After laying out the design and sewing the squares into strips on Friday, I got them assembled today and that's when they started asking to be quilted. I'm on holiday, and have the time so I decided to listen and start quilting.
Liberated echo quilting, nothing fancy, but I'm really pleased with the result
Just the binding to be hand stitched and then it's done. It's for one of our ladies who had a baby girl last summer ... 1st birthday pressie!
I also managed to finish the Gay Pride bag
And I've finished and embroidered a quilt for a cousin who has just had a baby girl, Annie
Now back to embroidering school uniforms!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
