One Hour of Needle and Thread


… or progress on the Screamer’s big girl quilt.

Two more roses and their echo quilting, accomplished in at least 5 hours of quilting.  Sunday-Thursday I did great, but Friday pregnancy nausea and exhaustion prevented any quilting.  Saturday, I was out of town and came home to a moving van and inherited furniture (let’s just sum it up with: OH, MY).  Sunday, after returning home from my parents’ house, was taken up by unpacking boxes from the previous day’s moving truck, and by the time the insanity calmed down, I could only think about bed.

It's so hard to see on white, but this is the quarter of the quilt I'm on right now!



Still, considering I haven’t hand quilted in two months, 5 hours and 5 days is pretty good.

I'm down to one more rose on this row, then it's the last row: 7 more roses!  The end is near!

Check out the other hand stitches on Bonnie's blog!

Your hand quilting looks beautiful! I know that you will love it when you are finished.

I found you on Bonnie's linky!

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
