Today I didn't get a chance to do much quilting both with family life, and trying to fix the computer issue, but the night is still young. I have another quilt from a friend who would like to have a bit of quilting done. The quilt is for her granddaughter. It was mostly quilted by hand. Very pretty and special. It takes a lot of patience to quilt by hand. I haven't acquired the patience yet. The most I have completed with quilting by hand was my scrappy HST (half square triangles). Here is a peak.
Not sure if you can see it but pretty amateurish big stitches, but I gave it a try. I only did the one border and ran out of patience for it. Maybe I can try it at another time. Here is the whole wall hanging. Yes, I know only a wall hanging and I could only do the one border. That is how it is. These HST finish at 1 1/2" and the wall hanging is 33" x 40".
Now here on the other hand is someone who hand quilts most of her quilts. Doesn't it look great?
All those tiny stitches marching along in a straight line. I was told by someone once that the straight lines are the most difficult to do. Here is a sneak peak of the quilt, though not fully done. Still some blocks that need to be done. Isn't this gorgeous so far. Just so sweet.
Enjoy the evening everyone. I am going to turn on my audio book and get a few stitches done.
