It's fair to say that I'm hand quilting my Mrs Billings project reasonably heavily ...
I guess I'm about half way through, and I've just finished my first reel of thread. I love this YLI thread for hand quilting ... it's just delightful. I'm hearing great things about the heavier weights of Aurifil too, so I think I'll try that for the next bit of hand work - the YLI will be a hard act to follow though.
Alrighty ... enough of a break for me ... it's back to work ... hand quilting while watching Wimbledon - someone needs to do it, and I nominate myself! xox

OMG Tara I think you will have this quilt finished in time for the QS. It is looking wonderful.Cannot wait to see it in the flesh. I love it.
Cheers

it is looking great Tazzie, I have used YLI for quilting but I especially love it for hand piecing. You are going to make the Love Entwined from Esther also? Are you jumping straight in or waiting to complete some projects first? I hope to start next month but need to make fabric selections first.
It's looking wonderful and I can't believe that you're half way. That's not a small quilt by any means so you're making really great progress!
Hi. I love how you quilt, I mean the patterns. I must learn those patterns one day. It is going to be beautiful.
Cant believe you're halfway already!
Gosh that quilt is beautiful! Congratulations for getting to the halfway mark. It's interesting to hear your thoughts about threads.
great progress Tara
You're doing so well!! Go girl!!
You are so good Tazzie, and your quilting is amazing. I can see another prize winning quilt here! :-)
Good work! It's looking fantastic.
