I was swiping a thread out of the way and did you know that the needle will go all the way through your finger. :). Yes I am ok (and so is the quilt). Net time I see a stray thread it will just have to get picked out afterward.
The block quilt is for my nieces baby girl. I saw one online "somewhere" and I attempted to recreate it. I used two types of batting to make the non quilted spots really stand up.
The elephant is a quilt done by a lady I quilt with. I outlined the elephants, stipples in the open squares and stitch in the ditch around the star and main squares.
I think I might be getting better with SID, but I think freehand is my favorite.
Oh No - poor finger! Glad to hear your finger and the quilt survived ;-). I did this once, actually I 'quilted' right through my finger and the needle broke off in my finger and I had to pull it out - this was not my idea of a good time...
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is really looking good - love the 'Somewhere' quilt, so cute, and so is the quilting. Your SID is looking great!
Happy Quilting,

Thanks Deb. I am enjoying looking at everyone else's quilts also. Love your Betty Boop setup. :)
DeleteI still have a lot to learn and I am learning most of it from people just like you, so thank you for your blog and encouragement.
I have two tshirt quilts to get done by next weekend, so I have a lot of work to do. I wish I could quilt full time, but I work during the day.
Enjoyed reading your blog which I got off of the yahoo home quilting group. I have a blog I use mostly for personal use to share with my friends and family my quilting experiences. Hope you will also follow mine.
