This will be my next hand quilting project. I want to use a variegated crochet thread and do some big stitch quilting on the black. Should be quick and easy. Unless, of course, I put it down again...
Oh, and my Ohio Star selvedge quilt? Scrapped! Instead, I made the two Ohio Star blocks into an over-the-shoulder tote bag, and was happy to have finished in time for the Challenge Quilt reveal at the guild meeting today. Oh, what beauties people made!

Oh , yes, I put off finishing a lot--I've decided that there is an underlying reason--something doesn't look right to me--but then, all of a sudden it does--who knows?? It is a mystery--love your dresden--so pretty and I think the variegated thread will be lovely...hugs, Julierose
I have some things setting, but more because I got wrapped up in something new and shiny. I love the bag you made with the stars. I like smaller projects with the selvedge.
Hmmmmm....love both the dresden and the tote.
Sharon's right...new and shiny gets me everytime.
Hey the bag is fantastic!
I think it is just that by the time a piece is quilted, i am tired of it. When i come back to it, it is fresh again. Or there is a quilt guild show coming up and deadlines help a lot.
I don't have room for things that are sitting around. One quilt took a while because I couldn't figure out how to finish it ... but a trip to a store in the states supplied the perfect fabric and it was quickly finished. My only machine pieced quilt sat around a long time waiting for the machine to come out. Once the family left home for a week, that was all it needed to get put together. After all, I can still find a space to eat with a machine on the dining room table.
I adore that bag!!
Wow! I love the Dresden plate!Can't wait to see it quilted!
Two pretties! I love bags. Very useful!
I am the queen on WIPs. I currently have 9 to-be-quilted ready to go. All bagged with their backing and binding. Love your Dresden plate.
Miss reading your posts. Hope your new business venture is going well!
