My Friday Night Sew-In original plans were to mark, layer, pin-baste, and start quilting my Dresden Stars. I followed the plan up to the quilting. I had to come up from my sewing room in the basement because my feet were like ice blocks from standing on the concrete floor for so long. At least I'm ready to make a go of it soon! Yay!
By the time my feet thawed I decided to stay upstairs and catch up on a little TV viewing while hand sewing. I pulled out my wool project and continued with my big-stitch quilting. I made great progress and am nearing completion. Only a few more partial rows left to go in the bottom right hand corner. I'll need to also sew up the bottom edge where this project was pillow turned. I'm loving this one!
Sorry about the blurry pictures. When this one is done, I'll be sure to have clear ones to post!
This is what I worked on last night. What did you sew?
Your Dresden is just lovely Susie and I really like the sool project as well. Thank you for your comments on my post too. I have used hexies like that in other projects with success but I stitched them in order before completing the quilt lol! I really like the effect and glad you do as well x
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have a "tv" project. It is amazing just how much gets done.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for getting that quilt ready...it's such a big job.
ReplyDeleteSometimes stitching in front of the tv is the best kind especially if it means you can feel your feet lol
ReplyDeletebeautiful work Susie,i always stitch in front of the TV.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! And you'll be all ready for a marathon on the quilting. Love the wool project.
ReplyDeleteYour Dresden is beautiful. Love the wool project. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteWhat are the pins/clips you have used for basting. I have never seen these
ReplyDeleteThey are curved quilt basting pins with safety pin covers. Should be available through most quilting shops and craft supply stores. The covers are easy to attach, make the pins easier to close, and the colors make them very visible while quilting.
ReplyDeleteI hope this helps!
