Slow Stitching; Big Stitching

Grandma's Apron Strings
is still in the hoop.


I do a little big stitch hand quilting every evening.

The block is a traditional Wheel of Fortune. I used kitchen themed fabrics in all of the blocks. For the sashing I got the crazy idea to do some chicken scratch embroidery on gingham. I remember aprons with all kinds of fancy chicken scratch embroidery. I even have a few - at one time I used those aprons as kitchen curtains. 

I'm more than half way finished with the hand quilting. 

And sew on...

Did you do the chicken scratch stitches on the sashing before sewing it to the blocks? Or you do this while quilting it? It looks amazing. Enjoy! ;^)
