In the Hoop


Vintage Thingamajigs has been in the hoop for awhile. I'm about 3/4 finished with the big stitch hand quilting with perle #12. 

Getting this quilt to the finish line will be my OMG (One Monthly Goal) for April.

I love this quilt! The red is absolutely perfect with the 1930s scraps. I'm tempted to make one like it. Your hand quilting is just what this old top needs.

Looking great. The red is so right for your quilt.

That is so pretty! I love the red, too. Do you use a specific kind of thread for big stitch quilting?

Deb said...

Love the look of the darker thread. This is such a bright and happy quilt

I absolutely love this quilt. The red is perfect and big stitching it is a good choice.

Looking forward to seeing the quilt with the quilting completed! I know, I know. It will be a while. Until then... happy slow stitching!

This is going to be lovely. I definitely need to use more red in my quilts.

Lovely! I have a table runner that I want to Big Stitch on, but have had trouble using the hoop like yours! Any hints? Could my batting be too thick?

I like that your scissors look so pretty with this quilt. Big stitching seems like a good fit for this one.

Looking terrific! I love solid red with scrappy and your big stitch quilting is perfect.

Great choice! I love scrappy, and this is a pretty one with the red focus.
