So I set up my $5 Garage Sale PVC Quilt Table in the Family Room…right in front of the TV!
It works great…keeps the quilt taut but not too tight for hand quilting.
As you can see I’m not doing the traditional small stitch hand quilting but rather have opted for big stitches using perle cotton to make the blocks pop!
I LOVE the look of the big stitches…
There is ONLY one thing wrong with this quilting table. Our dog Rylie doesn’t like it…in fact she won’t come to bed when it’s in the family room!! She sits on the couch all night guarding it…
So now every night we go through the ritual of dragging the Big, Bad, Blue Monster into the exercise room…and close the door…tight …so that Rylie can get a good nights sleep!! Dogs do the darnedest things!
And hey…who wants to exercise anyway? Not me!! :o)
Have a FUN Friday and Happy Quilting!~P
PS Don’t forget to enter Claire’s WOOL GIVE AWAY…Go HERE to enter!
I love the look of a blue and white quilt. It's beautiful.

I'm loving that quilt, love blue and white. Linda
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is wonderful! And how funny about Riley. My dog Ozzie went crazy yesterday when I was trying to swat a fly with the fly swatter. I think he thought I had lost my mind whacking away with that thing!
ReplyDeleteYes, love your quilt top and your perfect stitches make the blocks pop.
ReplyDeletelove the blue and white quilt and the big stitches!!..hey..it would go great in Little Dawg!..any chance??..nope I know!!..you don't like to part with your quilts!..
ReplyDeleteDaisy flowers are my very favorite flower and I love the big stitches. Maybe I could actually quilt using big stitches (except for the evenness!)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great table (err, quilting frame). Just don't eat pizza off it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt and I love the big stitches that you did.

Such a pretty FRESH looking quilt! I love the big stitch...my husband's elders call them "toe nail catchers!" LOL
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely! I just have to try using some Perle for bigger stitches. Looks like you are having fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you're quilting this beauty.
ReplyDeleteCooper has to guard anything that is out of place. They are silly creatures of habit. LOL
Oh I love the big blue stitches too! It does really add to the quilt! And the daisies on the fabric are so happy! That is too funny about your dog!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks gorgeous - all summery and fresh. Oh, and it only seems to have 3 fabrics in it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny about the dog - they do get the strangest ideas in their heads don't they?
Wow looks really pretty! Too funny about the dog guarding the frame!
ReplyDeleteI used to have one of those frames...wonder what happened to it in the last move??? Do you mark your big stitch, cause it is beautiful...and the quilt is adorable! Enzo is still taking a wide berth around the scooter! LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe things we do for our furry kids!
Wow, I'm in love with that quilt, and the quilting - great job!!! That is too funny about Rylie!
