Yes, my Homespun House quilt top has finally been sandwiched onto my hand quilting frame!
I am keeping it simple…big stitch quilting around each house…inside and out… using a variegated size 12 Valdani thread. 
I really love hand quilting…
…while listening to an audiobook, downloaded from our local library…
Don’t judge a book by it’s cover…this one has me sitting on the edge of my seat…stitching like mad!!
A lovely way to while away a hot and sunny afternoon…
I hope that YOU’RE having a lovely afternoon too! Thanks for stopping by to have a look over my shoulder!~) P
....and if you keep at it, you can enter it in the fair!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend the day! I still have plans to make this some at. And that book looks like a good one! Love James Patterson!
ReplyDeleteI love utility quilting, using perle cotton is the best. You are doing a lovely job Paulette.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt and it is so fun to hand quilt. Audio books have become a favorite of mine too. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! The hand quilting is going to be a lovely addition to your house quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove your houses. Perfect use for those wonderful homespun plaids. And what is this 'Valdani' thread? I need to learn more about 'bold stitch' thread options.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is awesome and just going to be more awesome with your wonderful quilting! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI actually love hand stitching too, but only compare to free motion on the large ones. It is just easier to stitch and not worry about mistakes. What frame are you using?

Love your quilt and the hand quilting makes it so special.
ReplyDeleteyou are brave, hand quilting. I never have time to do that anymore ... and I always end up with sore fingers. Do you get sore fingers?
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! Is that a QSnap Frame? Do you like it? Do you need to do anything special to prepare your quilt to use in that frame?
ReplyDeleteTime to fess up. I took it with me to read while I had a luxurious soak in a bubble bath. Finally I put it down when the bath became totally cold. Showered and dressed I grabbed the book and nary a peep out of me until the last page was turned. So very readable. I guess I remembered to eat and drink but nothing else was accomplished.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy quilting around your houses. I prefer to hand stitch but it can take an age.
Blessings
That looks great, and now I'm off to check out that book.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to listen to an audio book while quilting! Would never have thought of it. Aren't the Valdani threads nice?
ReplyDeletePerfect quilting for that pattern - just lovely. Enjoy it.
