Today I have been able to return to my quilting at the frame for love calms the sea. It is certainly a different process quilting at the frame to in the hoop. For me I much prefer quilting on the frame, I do know that others struggle with this process but since I have adapted to quilting away from me with my thumb i believe I can get a more even stitch plus it seems to be quicker. I am using my much loved aurifil 28wt to hand quilt with and I just can't say how much I love using this thread.
I have also been busy cooking today, I managed to do two loaves of bread and some bread rolls along with date and nut loaves. It has certainly been a productive day even if it is a slow stitching Sunday and I am glad to share this Post with Kathy.
So until next time have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy your slow stitching,
Wendy.
Nothing better than fresh homemade breads ... unless it's homemade breads AND some hand quilting! Sounds like a wonderful Sunday to me.
ReplyDeleteIt most certainly was Kathy, now to have a productive week with my quilty adventures
DeleteOH I am hungry for lunch and now seeing that lovely bread makes me quite hungry indeed / there is nothing like home made bread ( or home made quilts! :)
ReplyDeleteDeb, you are right nothing compares really to the fresh smell of baked bread
DeleteI still trying to learn the quilting in the hoop....grin.
ReplyDeleteWell keep at it BillieBee as it is well worth the effort. There is. I thing better than spending time hand quilting something
DeleteI think it depends on the pattern you are quilting whether or not to use a frame or a hoop. I recently took a small quilt off my frame and am using a hoop as the quilting pattern has many twists and turns. I too can quilt away from me with my thumb but I needed to be a contortionist for this quilt. I am so much happier having it in my lap.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, my mouth is watering for all of your beautiful breads and rolls.
Cathie, I have just finished a small one I did in my hoop, I mentioned it to hubby last night how I was more comfortable at he frame now, his answer was well, just quilt big quilts!
DeleteI love making homemade bread but have no self control and then I end up with too many carbs in my diet, so I try to keep it to pizza dough once a week, it is tradition at my house. Your storm at sea is going to be spectacular. I think we all like the method that we practice with most, so for me its a round hoop.
ReplyDeleteI agree Carla, it's just amazing though how comfortable we can get with one method
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the perfect day to me! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, thanks for providing the link
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try quilting on a frame and learn to quilt away from me. Now, where would I put a frame...maybe I'll be sticking to the hoop for a while! You seem to have quite a good start on this quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have adapted really well to quilting away from me. I had a bit of this quilt done before I had to continue my miniature in the hoop
