In the Hoop


Tulips finally made it to the hoop. It's been sandwiched for a looooong time.  I'm big stitch hand quilting in white #8 perle thread. 


I love 30s reproduction fabrics.  They remind me of grandma's quilts.

    It's a lovely summery quilt!
    It looks like your quilt is very loose in the frame... is that how you have it when you're quilting?

    I love the old-fashioned vibe you've got going on with this one. I've never thought of using white for my quilting, but actually it's a really good idea.

    I love the look of old fashioned quilts like this. So warm and inviting, and your hand quilting will make it that much more special.

    I used reproductions in a couple of my early quilts, but haven't used many since. They really are very appealing!

    This is a great quilt!

    You know, I think you must speed sew at a mile a minute. You always have so many blocks and quilts to show!
