I have finally made a back for the circles and stripes quilt, so one of my slow Sunday tasks, I hope, is to sandwich it ready for quilting. In the meantime I have continued to quilt the scrappy quilt top. One of the funny things (for me, at least) about a quilt made of discernible blocks is that you can tell exactly how far you have got with the quilting, so this is block 12 of 70. I will keep this ticking over once I start the circles, just trying to do a square to two each week.
I'm also expecting to finish my hand-sewn skirt today; this is the waistband going on, so very nearly there.

I agree - so nice to see progress when you can check off a block as completed. Beautiful stitches.
ReplyDeleteOh your scrappy quilt makes me wish I was quilting my log cabin top. But it needs to wait its turn. Wow a hand sewn garment. How interesting and looking forward to a final pic
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hand quilting as always.
ReplyDeleteA hand sewn skirt, fun idea, wow! I've made hand sewn doll clothes before, they finished fast.
I am tickled about a hand sewn skirt... you are brave to make clothing of any kind, let alone all hand made!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what can be accomplished one small bit at a time.
ReplyDeleteThose are three great projects. I am looking forward to seeing that skirt. Your small picture is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteSlow and steady won the race as they say . I remember making a hand sewn skirt in my teens and amazingly it didn't fall apart . Can't wait to see yiurs
ReplyDeleteI don't know where to start! I guess the skirt because it's interesting that you decided to hand-sew it, but it's not your first, so I'm not surprised. I like those colors together and can't wait to see the finished skirt...this week, maybe?
ReplyDeleteThe scrappy quilt stitches are so lovely. I bet they give lots of texture and movement. The quilt top was already stunning! Have a great week.
Ooh, a hand sewn skirt!? You rock!
ReplyDeleteJust look at those neat quilting stitches!! And a hand sewn skirt …..
ReplyDeleteIt would never occur to me to handsew clothes - be it will be as soft as anything!
ReplyDeleteMay I tell everyone the skirt looks great and is a perfect fit.

ReplyDeleteYour close up photos of your beautiful stitching always make me ooh and ahh Kaja.
ReplyDeleteI don't think people hand sew clothing very often anymore, except for maybe the hemming. This is so cool!
A hand sewn skirt- wow. Not that it surprises me at all and now I´m curious.
