What's in the hoop?
30s Churn Dash
I finished the top in May 2020. It's a big one at 92 x 92.
Now that we are having cooler weather I don't mind a large quilt on my lap in the evenings while I hand quilt. If I don't do some kind of hand work in the evenings after dinner I fall asleep the minute my booty hits the couch. I don't need to go to bed at 6:30 p.m. !
I am big stitch quilting with perle #8 in the colors of the quilt.
I'm using up odds and ends of threads I had on hand.
Happy quilting!!
ReplyDeleteLooking good. Nice to be able to use up odds and ends of threads.
ReplyDeleteSuch a bright and cheerful quilt…perfect project for cool evenings.
ReplyDeleteBright cheerful fabrics. I’ve used the same style of frame and did the big stitch. You inspire me to big stitch again.
ReplyDeleteLOOOOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. Love the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI hear you! Same thing happens to me when I sit down in my recliner after dinner - unless I pick up the hoop immediately. Even then, sometimes ...
ReplyDeleteQuilting those fabrics should be able to perk you up after dinner. Enjoy your stitching!
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage scrappy look of your quilt. It's getting into cozy quilt on the lap time!
ReplyDeleteThat's a happy quilt to have in the hoop, Cathy! I'm like you - I'd fall asleep at 6:30 if I didn't have something to do. It leads to lots of handwork!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good evening project. Love the colors. I need to find a good evening project. I really don't like sitting and watching tv. That's just a waste of time! I do it just to keep my husband company! I really need to get a big stitch project going as well. I haven't done that as yet.
ReplyDeleteThirties prints are so cheery, bright and fun! Enjoy stitching on them! :)
