Celebrate Handquilting part three!

The Celebrate Handquilting from Caron Mosey (see her button on the left of this blog) is getting a sequel. And what a sequel! She started a blog to which we all can contribute. Isn't that neat?! And I decided to contribute to it, so now I am an official http://celebratehandquilting.blogspot.com/ participant. I never would have thought I would be something official in the quilt world! For me quilting is about fun, and certainly not about official.;-) But I am proud I am now.
And if you want to add, feel welcome. The more the merrier!
I wrote about my needle puller and my thimbles, but also about my collection of scissors. Well, some of them.

For now I am working on the yellow and purple project. It's supposed to be a quickie for the cat. As it has to be put on the couch, it wil be 8ftx10ft.

Well, after 2500 triangles to cut and 7500 corners to trim, the word quickie gets to be another word for preparing for days so the sewing is a quickie. And then somebody tells me that I have to trim the squares too after sewing the triangles together...

Who said machine quilting is so much quicker than hand quilting?! I 'll keep you informed about my progress.

Have fun quilting!

Thank you for mentioning this on your blog! We're happy to have other hand quilters join us. Come on over - it's a lot of fun, and I think we'll be learning a lot from each other!
