one of my first quilts
Comments (6)Geraldine you make the most interesting quilts and thank you for sharing. I really love string quilts and make them for my charity projects. I love looking at the many fabrics in string quilts, it is mesmerizing. Here is how I gather my scraps for string quilting: I have a plastic gift bag that sits near my sewing table. When I get a project cut out the smaller leftovers get TOSSED in the bag. When the project is completely done then I strip the scraps. It is amazing how quickly I gather strips to sew. I like to sew these on my featherweight when there is some special sports I want to watch. I don't have to worry about accuracy or 1/4" seams. Thanks again, keep sharing your work, you are so creative. Jean...See MoreMy First Quilt Top (pic)
Comments (25)Looks like you did a really good job. I am sure your hand quilting will be equally as wonderful. The layout is great and the colors really pop. I like hand quilting as it seems relaxing. I have been practicing on machine quilting my tops but I will usually put some hand quilting in like one block in the center. Great job! Nancy (Stitches)...See MoreMy first quilt-pic
Comments (28)What a wonderful first quilt....or second or third, it would be wonderful for any stage quilter. You should be so proud of yourself, and I know the baby and her parents will love the quilt and treasure it always....See MoreMy first quilt shop hop and also Quilts and Vines
Comments (3)I've not had a winearitas before, sounds interesting! I love the idea of quilting and wine (also 2 of my favorites). Of course, I can't do them at the same time (don't ask how I know!!)....See Morenhbaskets
