I have not hand quilted anything before, but really like the look of hand quilting echoing a block. I like the uneven, wide stitches. They make me happy.
I need to just dive in and give it a go. Susan has been kind enough to give me Hand Quilting 101 lessons via email, so I am feeling more confident. Confident enough to have a little shopping spree. I picked up this bunch of delicious colors as a package deal and couldn't be happier. Isn't this a nice little punch of color for your sewing space? I love it!
Now I just have to give it a go....
Delicious colors. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOff you go then. Can't wait to see your first project.
ReplyDeleteThose colours are so yummy! Have fun! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLovely colours - can't wait to see them in quilts:)
ReplyDeleteThey are so lovely! As soon as you are confident .. can you give me a lesson? I always wanted to sit together and do some crafting and chatting ... and than you can have a cup of coffe with your lovely new mug rug and an Austrian cake :) Doesn't that sound good?
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely!

ReplyDelete'Little' shopping spree did you say? ;o) Looking forward to seeing where it all ends up!
ReplyDeleteOh just stop right there...you have done all the fun bits...why ruin it?
ReplyDeleteOh I crack myself up!
Once you start you'll always want the look, it just adds so much and is so much more personal. Every quilt I make starts out with the vision of hand quilting but I only have time for the really special ones.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Have fun!
