Quilting begins
It's a long weekend here due the the Eid al-Fitr holidays. So I got off my butt and thread basted Barbara Brackman's Civil War Quilt. I use my sewing table to baste and was standing all the time with many breaks. Pretty tiring. I am using flannel for the batting. I basted from the top to the bottom. Ensuring the layers stay flat as I go. My fingers are a little sore now :(
The quilting starts from the centre out. Outline quilting it with Perle Cotton No. 8 using big stitch. My plan is to quilt one block a week. Still unsure how I'll quilt the sashing.
I made an A-Line skirt and a blouse for my sis. Will wait for her fitting before I proceed with more sewing.
I've tied up the remnant garment fabrics. Some are enough to make a sleeveless blouse. Maybe I could use them as trims in the future.
And lastly my progress of LHN's Love Your Neighbour.

ReplyDeleteWell done on getting that basting finished. Not one of my favourite jobs but necessary.

Your CW quilt looks awesome Barbara, now that I see a bit of a close-up, and the fact you are going to handquilt this baby is just amazing to me!!! I know you will do a great job!!! Your dressmaking skills are very handy to your family I can see that! As always I love your cross-stitch work!!
