Jagged Lines |
I have been doing a lot of FMQ this week on my Expanding Possibilities quilt (the one that has given me so much grieve to stitch). And while I still don't have my insert for my sewing table yet, the new set up is working pretty well. (Leah, I'm really enjoying your sewing room organization posts)
I have three birds marked for the top section of the quilt. |
Click here to see all the different threads I used. What surprised me the most is how much I liked stitching with silk thread.
This was a really old spool of silk thread that was in my mom's stash. It really stitched beautifully. I might try this again.
On my Elephant quilt project, I played around and designed my first block. I wrote up a tutorial on how to make this block if your curious.
Since this quilt isn't a Christmas present, it doesn't have a high priority. That's probably why I really WANT to work on it!
And now for some shameless begging for your vote! No, not the presidential vote, the Blogger's Quilt Festival voting. Nomination starts tomorrow! I would be ever so grateful if my quilt was nominated in the best baby quilt and/or best home machine quilted. Then of course, if my quilt is nominated, I'll need your vote to win.
