I think it has been a few months now since I started on my first quilt (baby size of course!). Little did I know then, that I would still be working on it now, with no end in sight. Patchwork class was last night and it took me an hour to sandwich the quilt together. I then started on the actual hand quilting and managed a total of about 10cms. Can you see it?
It was tough, a lot harder than my practice piece. So I decided to pack it up and try again over the weekend.
Some new spring clothes for Ashley.....
A pretty t-shirt from one of my favourite places where I can always find something nice!

don't give up! It looks so lovely...
I've never done handquilting so I'm very impressed.
your stitches are great! nice, small and equal. you are doing a good job!
basting is the hardest part, i think.
Well, as I am learning, quilting can take an awful long time! I have only hand quilted one quilt and the pieces on that one were 18" square :-) But it sure felt good when it was done and I feel more attachment to that quilt than any other I have made. Someday I will do another one, for now I will stick to a machine because with kids I don't have a lot of time on my hands. But give yourself some time and I am sure you will be so pleased at what you can do!
I've been quilting for 3 years now and I still have so much to learn and improve upon. Aggghhh, one day when the kids are older I might get myself to a few more lessons.
thanks for the clothing link..always good to find new Australian sites.
