Three-plus days with houseguests meant lots of fun, but not much time for quilting. We even went to a terrific quilt show together--the A Stitch in Time quilt show, held by the Quilters Guild of the Southern Crescent and the Common Threads Quilt Guild. So many wonderful quilts! This was my favorite, although there were many other excellent choices. My photo doesn't do justice to the beautiful, bright colors.

I can't imagine tackling that design! I think hand piecing it would be the only way to go with all those curves. I wonder how long it took her?

Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch challenge at Life in Pieces has us tracking how many days each week we get in at least 15 minutes of quilting time. I did manage to get a little quilting time every day, mostly by hand-stitching hexagons while we watched TV in the evenings.

ReplyDeletehugs, Julierose
That is an amazing quilt. Wow. Hand stitching takes time, but is a great activity when folks are here.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great quilt - love the movement and the bright colors. Great stats for the week and the year to date.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun but busy weekend. Your stitching stats are pretty incredible, you've missed less than a week out or 41 weeks. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your post Julie. Thanks so much for sharing my quilt. Yes, you are correct I hand pieced and then hand quilted. The hand piecing took 3 months. I had to preplan the color/fabric placements on graph paper. Then assign each fabric a number.
