Stitch and stitch and stitch...


I wanted to show you this quilt, a lap size of my Woven Mini, before the torrential rain starts again, before my camera goes back to its owner for the weekend, and before my kids come back from the post office with their Dad. :) I'm nearly, nearly finished!


You can read about the original inspiration here. This larger version was a custom order. I've been hand quilting for about 3 weeks and still going. I have watched my favourite movies about 3 times over while I stitch and stitch and stitch....


And while I think she's just beautiful, I'm itching to finish her so I can get back on my machine again!

    That is just beautiful, and I love the interesting way you hand stitched it! Makes me wish it was quilting time instead of bedtime.

    Handstitching makes it so individual. Don't worry, the sewing machine will be happy to see you again, but is probably enjoying the break...

    It's breathtaking. But, I get you. Designing/making the Handstitched projects all in a row has left me pining for my machine!

I so love your comments! I read all of them and reply when I can. If you don't hear back, I'm lost under a mound of scraps or outside jumping on the trampoline with the kids. Jodi. xx
