I must be half way!

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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!
