Tiny Needle Tuesday

 

I spent most of my stitching time this week on this. I even got her a new needle minder. It's a lotus. 

I thought I had the frame issue on this one figured out but I didn't. As you can see, the frame I found didn't work. It wouldn't hold the fabric tight enough even after I put felt under the stretchers. 

That frame was not a Q Snap. It was a Fons and Porter frame for hand quilting so it just wasn't made to hold anything tightly. Loose fabric drives me crazy so I bought the extensions for my 11 inch Q Snap to turn it into a 14 inch one. Since it just now showed up in the mail, I haven't tried it yet. 

I got the tiniest bit done on the bottom of the Village Quaker but......

....every time I walk in the room where it is, this is sitting there waiting for some attention too.

Then of course there's the Big Ugly. It looks more like the Big Clown Quilt from this side. I've gotten two sides of the binding sewn down so far. I am still amazed at how easy it is to work on when it's all laid out on the big table instead of fighting with it over the ironing board. I've been dreading finished that other big quilt top I've had laying around for 12 years but now I'm actually looking forward to it.
