Trying New Things

Posted byonecreativefamilyPosted inUncategorized

This week I have stepped outside my comfort zone.  I have been reading on hand quilting and decided to hand quilt my illusion quilt.  Thanks to my friends on Facebook Friends of Farmhouse Quilts and my own site, Facebook One Creative Family I finally decided on the color for the quilting.  This has been more fun than I thought,  wp-image--1749775I really like the blending threads and looking at the photo above I am seeing several mistakes in the darker blue triangle.  Now is the time to fix it before it is finished.  I did have to mark the fabric because my stitching was NOT very straight,  I think when we  go on vacation I will be taking this with me to do some quilting because I WILL NOT be finished in 3 weeks.

We will be going to the New England states for a few weeks and since hubby has the map out and plotting the way we are going to see all we want to see I will be plotting the most important places to stop.  Quilt shops and places to eat.  Any suggestions on what to see going from Missouri  thru up to the Canadian border and down to Washington DC if time is on our side.  I will be trying clam chowder for the first time.

Well till next time and hopefully I will have more to share.  Stay safe and be safe for the folks in Florida.
