What's In The Hoop?

What's in the hoop?

Carpenter Star

I've been big stitch hand quilting it. 


Back in November 2021 I made one Before-I-Forget block as a reminder of what I wanted to do with a pile of 30s reproduction scraps. 







And now mostly what I have left to hand quilt is something in the white space around the blocks. I found a simple stencil in my collection I think I will use. 

And sew on...

Oh what beautiful weather we have been having! I've been spending as much time as I can out working in my gardens.

Oh joy! In the last week or so I received two boxes of fabric and scraps from Teresa and a box of quite an interesting and eclectic variety of scraps from Sandi.  I just love sorting through scraps!

Your Carpenter's star is just amazing, Cathy--so lovely. It will be even more beautiful when quilted. Lovely work hugs, Julierose

What a lovely scrappy quilt and you get to admire all those pretty fabrics as you hand quilt it. Perfect! Gail at the cozy quilter.
