You have inspired me to get started on my hand quilting project, but the thought of marking the pattern (not that I've decided on a pattern) stalls me. No light box and I don't need a glass table even if I could buy a cheap one at a recycle shop. What am I going to do? Probably opt for colored thread though in the end, as you did, thought I doubt I can get my stitches so small and even.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-57053646298346318042016-08-08T08:18:28.812-07:002016-08-08T08:18:28.812-07:00I love your quilting.

But then she buys new fabric and that's not the same at all as using your scrap box and then making it work, which you have done with enormous success.Lis Harwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11700965811840448266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-81831855903694948392016-07-29T00:16:25.370-07:002016-07-29T00:16:25.370-07:00Julie, oh my goodness, your hand quilting is absol...Julie, oh my goodness, your hand quilting is absolutely WONDERFUL. What a lovely pattern, and it fills the space perfectly. You are so talented. We don't see any variations in the fabric; and honestly, Julie, that is just so beautiful.

We always see our own inconsistencies but others just see the beauty. I like quilting in colors - adds so much to the quilt. And your flower is lovely - how nice that you could save a piece of your friend's history.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-5221596497544659592016-07-24T08:19:15.626-07:002016-07-24T08:19:15.626-07:00Lovely!

I think the blue quilting on white draws the eye around the block and makes the colorful squares pop.<br /><br />The Hosta is thriving in your loving hands. A great way to remember a friend or family member. Mom and I took Hen and Chicks from my Grandma's garden after she passed away. Grandma's plants did a lot of traveling until I could not take them with us overseas.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803925425249925354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-15072621244878251672016-07-23T10:45:14.777-07:002016-07-23T10:45:14.777-07:00what a wonderful memory of your friend and I am su...what a wonderful memory of your friend and I am sure the memories come every time you walk past her flowers x Quilting looks good from here xDiane-crewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879911622708138774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-26641111766108488642016-07-23T07:42:49.536-07:002016-07-23T07:42:49.536-07:00It's a beautiful quilt.

It gives the quilt more character. This will be a keepsake, for sure.Nifty Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249020129403851346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-67277518835417081952016-07-22T19:38:49.955-07:002016-07-22T19:38:49.955-07:00What a creative solution!

Trust a whittle expert to 'just fold a piece of paper and cut it to make the design'! Magic fingers, that's what you have got, Julie. AND they are green, too, see how the plants grow in your care.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.com
