I've always machine quilted but find it laborious trying to wrestle the whole quilt through the machine and inevitably I end up with a degree of bunching no matter how meticulously I pin. Do you use a hoop? Do you pin the whole quilt sandwich with safety pins and then hand quilt? Do you use a thimble?Flepandcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829255811468297928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-71310373755651488462014-12-04T17:05:09.354-06:002014-12-04T17:05:09.354-06:00Beautiful colours!

I grew up with quilts, made by my grandmothers that held precious pieces of old favorite clothing that reminded us all of the memories lived while wearing those clothes. Believe it or not, I have a quilt with my five-year-old embroidery included (fruit shapes from a simple coloring book that my grandmother traced onto a plain shirt fabric block for me!).<br /><br />I was horrified when I found out that some people *buy* the fabric for their quilt-tops!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-51999245881373753572014-12-04T15:32:09.840-06:002014-12-04T15:32:09.840-06:00I remember that skirt back when it was discovered ...I remember that skirt back when it was discovered and mailed to Clara at camp!

However, some of the fabric is strong enough to be made into a quilt.<br /><br />Lilian, you're right, this will be for Clara.<br />Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747223126169684757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-4442154374367567502014-12-04T05:44:58.406-06:002014-12-04T05:44:58.406-06:00Love the harmony of the colors!
