This is what is in my hoop today. I am hand quilting my Accidental Quilt.
I haven't worked on it for a while and it is close to being finished. Maybe I am procrastinating the finish since I have enjoyed this project so much?!?
I am quilting the last rows on one end, and just have a few more to finish on the other end. And then I will quilt all around the outside of the quilt in the white triangles.
What are you hand stitching today?
You are all so awesome to take the time to share your projects and post your challenges and delights. I soooo look forward to Sundays when I can see what you are working on. It is such a highlight of my week to make a pot of tea, fire up the computer and see your stitching. Last week there were 13 wonderful postings to enjoy and I hope there will be more today!
LOL Now THAT has to be the ultimate quilt picture ever....Quilts on the Water. Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I could sit in a boat with a view like that, I think I'd really enjoy hand quilting a lot more. Beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture of quilts on the water!
ReplyDeleteThe Accidental Quilt is so cheerful - I hope your Sunday stitching is soothing!
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh Kathy! I love your header. The pic on the lake is so nice but being able to sit on that deck with a cuppa would absolutely calm my soul.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts and pictures as usual Kathy. I'll hook up later today - so far I've done some prep work of peels in moss green and brown, ironed the Easy street top and bottom and put on the boards. Now to piece the batting so I can pin it.... I plan to draw the border quilting design onto the apple quilt today too - so I'll be all set to sit and stitch this evening. So happy to be on the home stretch on that one! Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt you are working on, and the photograph of it. You always seem to come up with such fabulous sites for photos. It seems all my hand sewing time has been hijacked by knitting lately. I keep finding the neatest projects that would make great Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks so lovely on the boat, very relaxing and serene.
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be kidding me! You took quilts you hand quilted on a boat ride???? After all that work I don't think I could bear it. They are so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same Kathy!! I am a long time hand quilter and thoroughly enjoy it!! I am trying to learn machine quilting and want to enjoy it..but, I still feel out of control with it. lol
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts to take out with you for the day! Really like the scrappy quilt you're working on too.:)
ReplyDeletelovely quilts, I have only tried hand quilting, not ventured to the machine at all, hopefully one day I will have a go on the machine but hand sewing is so much more relaxing I find. Must admit I would not want to do all the blocks by hand, they would take for ever
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about procrastinating the finish. I just "finished" hand quilting my CW sampler, but I can't quite bring myself to call it done. I know I'll be going back and adding bits more quilting in several of the blocks, partly just to extend the pleasure of working on it.
ReplyDeleteI love to use my quilts, and would totally take one out on the boat! ... assuming I had a boat ~ lol!
