It has been years since I hand quilted and lately I have had a hankering for it, so I thought I would give it a go again on my Lynette Anderson's Christmas Fun BOM. I am using a #8 ecru pearl thread, not sure what I am going to do. I might sew the hand painted button's on as I go.
You can see here some of my points on my wee stars are cut off, as my Grandaughter would say : "never mind". Will I have it finished for this Christmas????
I am waiting for my special rulers to come from Australia, so I can start Bonnie Hunter's new mystery, Orca Bay. Tomorrow will be the 2nd step, but I tell my self it is not a race, but I feel like I am at the back of the pack and can't get traction! Here are the fabric's I have chosen, are any of my readers joining in?
I'm sure you can have it ready for Christmas... :O) a little bit here and there and it will be done in no time! I am sure you are not at the back of the pack but hey what does it matter if you are... just enjoy the process and have fun! :O)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking lovely, I do love that pattern and hand quilting will look beautiful on it.
ReplyDeleteThe hand quilting will look lovely on this quilt - something nice to do in the long summer evenings - didn't the mystery turn out well? I know where I will be coming for handquilting lessons WHEN my hexie-quilt gets to that stage! The Friendship Bread looks like a nice read.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt! Love that it is done by hand!
