I love hand quilting, and I think there should always be a quilt in the hoop to work on when the mood strikes. Since I haven't been feeling well over the last week, I've found more time to just sit and stitch on my "Circles" quilt. It's been good therapy. Here's a sneak peek. You can see I'm coming along nicely!
I've also managed to make it to the basement a little to add more rows to
the blue and brown "Squares" quilt. I think I'm at 6 by 8 now. I want to have a total of 9 by 11 plus a simple border. So more blocks to sew in my future!I love the fabrics!!!

Your hand quilting is lovely! I hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI love hand quilting and yours is wonderful! Thanks for the birthday wishes, Caron!
ReplyDeleteI am not a huge fan of hand quilting. I have had one on the frame for over two years and it's still not done. Yesterday I took it off the frame and will try with a hoop. Maybe I'll be more encouraged that way.
ReplyDeleteOoh. That Circles quilt looks so enticing! Hope to see more pictures soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done hand-quilting!! Very nice!! 8-)
ReplyDeleteYou blue and browns quilt is lovely!
Oh how I wish I could hand quilt like you...just lovely!
ReplyDeleteCaron, your hand quilting is gorgeous. I love doing it as well though I am slower than slow. Think having the computer right near the work light might be part of the trouble?
ReplyDeleteDid you learn to quilt from Ami? I have her little blue book near my work area and still need a refresher every now and again. What a hoot to see the picture from years ago!
