I'm hand quilting the big stitch on my Honest House Quilt and I love how fast it is and how well it goes with the style of this quilt.
I've called it "honest" because Pepper Cory referred to a southern quilt in her lecture as "honest" and I just loved that sentiment. It is a quilt that is not being too fancy, too perfect or too too.
I do struggle a little with making my big stitch BIG and even. I also don't care. There.....I said it. This is not a competition quilt. This is an "honest" it is just a nice quilt.
I'm using geranium pink, #8 pearl cotton and a #24 chenille needle.
Nutmeg loves to climb into a quilt hoop cave.
Have I mentioned that she is a stinker. Albeit a sweet one.
I entered my "Song of the Sparrow" quilt in the Northern Star Quilt Show in May and The Vermont Quilt Festival in June forcing me to finally get my sleeve and label done.
I found this fabric scrap on a free table and thought it was just right for this quilt. I add simple running top stitches on large labels to give them a little dimension.
My pen was a little boogery when I first started but I had to keep going. Perfect is overrated. I love this little scene.
I'm hand quilting this little doll quilt with pink thread too :)
This is my current "take along" project.
I found this wonderful Theorem painting after dropping off some good stuff at my thrift shop. They are a wonderful local outreach shop.
It pairs perfectly with this little quilt that Jill made for me.
Large water bottles and super size sodas has resulted in perfectly sized cup holders. 😁
I saw this wonderful lawn sign on a recent walk with coco. It really warms my heart in the divisive times in which we are living.
Maybe I should call my house quilt "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" What do you think?
Happy February Everyone.
Spring is on its way.
Of course we haven't really had winter in CT yet.
