What have I been working on? I have been hand quilting (Yes Auntie M you read right). Never thought I hear myself say that. I have been using pearle 8 cotton and the fantastic Jenna Kimble's redwork needles (size 9). I am liking this sort of quilting. Here is a sneak peak of some of the blocks I have yet to do.
I have finally got a home for my sewing machine in our new home. For the first few weeks it lived in the hall way..now we have moved it into the lounge and I can get going on all my embroidery projects I have in my mind. More to come on that later.
I have also been crocheting the hexagons and working on some more Georgetown Turnaround circles. I have to take some more pictures to show you next post.
finally you have posted a blog!!! Can't believe you are actually going to HAND QUILT something. M will be so proud!!!! Glad you have settled in ok looking forward to seeing you on the 11th Feb if you can make it. (don't forget a week later just for Feb) Helen F
ReplyDeleteWell done you. Auntie M is very pleased and proud!! I recognise that quilt! Must check out the Jeanna Kimball needles - thanks for that tip. Hope all is going well at work and looking forward to hearing all you news in person soon.
ReplyDeleteThe stars look gorgeous - sorry we didn't really get time to look at any of your projects while I was there!
