Oh how I love to hand quilt! I actually can't think of many other pastimes I would rather be doing on a Slow Stitching Sunday and that is why I am linking with Kathy here. I started on the second feather and am happy to say that I actually reached my goal and completed it.
I threaded all of my needles and left them on the thread and only cut when I needed the next needle, this was such a time saver as I didn't have to keep threading needles, it also gives my needles a good rotation. I am also happy to announce that my blog is being listed with Quilt Qua now. It is a great site with lots of quilty information for everyone. Please take a look. As for me I will be continuing stitching the rest of my Gelato now.
until next time continue to enjoy life

Gelato is looking FABULOUS! Love that tip about prethreading a lot of needles and then pulling off the thread you need with 1 needle at a time too! Thanks for sharing :) Kathi

ReplyDeleteYour feathers look fantastic! Great idea to save time with needle threading struggles! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteGelato looks nice all quilted. I like the idea of threading the needle and leaving it on the spool uncut until ready for use.
