I have been stitching all afternoon. My hope was that I finish one side of the border per week. I didn't quite accomplish my goal today. I have the feathers and cable done on the second side but only about one half of the crosshatching. I still have a few hours to stitch this evening, but first I am heading over to
Kathy's Quilts to see what others are slow stitching.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hand quilting. Sounds like you have an ambitious schedule.
ReplyDeleteI find that setting goals helps to get things done. I don't always achieve them. I often slow down on the home stretch, it's hard to let go of a project when you work on it a long time.
DeleteLooking beautiful - well done!

I love the feather-cable design and you're quilting it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is beautiful! Wonderful, wonderful work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just love how you are quilting with a dark thread on a light fabric. Hope I have the confidence to do that some day! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first attempt. Most of my quilts have neutral backgrounds and I used traditional natural thread, so I was stumped. I took Pepper Cory's advice and auditioned threads from a box of threads I inherited from my husband's grandmother. The electric blue seemed to work best, so glad companies are making hand quilting threads in beautiful colors now.
DeleteCarla, that is going to be so stunning when it is finished! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Caron, your Amish quilt inspired me!
DeleteI'm inspired! And I have something to aspire to.
