I got the whole middle of the quilt quilted yesterday. It's stitch-in-the-ditch, nothing fancy. I need to do the sides, but I will have to go to JoAnn's (yippee!!!!) today to get a fabric pencil. I want to draw straight lines on the creme part of the quilt so that I sew straight....well as straight as I can. Does that make sense? So in the meantime, I'll start working on my second WIP for the week. This was the one I had started in Florida.
Hi Karen, I know what you mean about straight lines. The seam seems straight, 'til I look at the back - ugh!! Have you ever done paper piecing? I'm thinking that technique might make me a better quilter (if I am one - I've yet to finish a quilt.) I printed out the BOM house, but haven't even selected fabric yet. Busy, busy, busy... I want to thank you for the sweet little sweater for felting, and the bag of fabrics. They are beautiful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Words to describe me: Mom(to Eric & Danny),wife(to Chuck),Auntie(to Grace, Jessica, Jack),big sister (to 5 sibs),crafty, scrapbooker, new quilter. Homebirth nurse/baby catcher,friend (I got a pocketful of friends!), early morning person,coffee drinker (all day!)happy,and much more to be added later...oh yea...I love books and wine and Jesus!
