The Mister wanted to go play golf yesterday so I had some time all to myself.
I'm still working on Daddio's wedding ring quilt. I am now free motioning the rings themselves using Daddio's favorite thread. He had spools and spools of this variegated stuff. Every time we went to the fabric store he had to buy more.
I thought I would use it to do a continuous curve design on those little appliqued pieces which really need to be tacked down but it's turned out to be harder than I thought to get it right. Oh, well. On this one I am just going to embrace the wonky.
I bought another smaller quilting hoop for his Dresden. I was having to work in a yoga position to get those borders done using my big hoop.
Bless you Amazon for always having just what I need to get the job done-and getting it here fast.
