I machine quilted another quarter of Allietare yesterday - no photos though. One quarter left! Yay. Machine quilting is not my favorite, but it must be done to have a finished quilt! Since retiring, I've decided to quilt all my tops myself...unless it's something REALLY special. Like maybe a 'bee' related hexie quilt. Ha! I do all my quilting on my domestic machine - Bernina 750.
I'm planning to quilt En Provence 'quilt as you go' - using my quilting rulers. It will be fun to try a different method.
As you can see I did a bit of hand sewing last night. To Doc Martin. Sad that we are now watching the last season...
Today: dresdens! Gardenvale! And I may sneak in some machine quilting or some En Provence. We'll see.
Some of you may wonder if I spend all day long, every single day, sewing. NO! I do other things. Cook. Clean. Wash clothes. Swim. Hike. Run errands. I do try to devote 2 hours per weekday to machine sewing. That's just 10 hours per week! My hand sewing is relaxing time - watching TV with hubby.
I wish you a happy day!
I just started to watch Doc Martin last night and so far I'm only at the part where the plumbers are coming to the 'office! HA Hubby wanted to watch a movie we had tivo'd.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching Doc Martinas well, it is up there listed as one of my favourit shows.
ReplyDeleteI admir you so much, doing your quilitng on on your domestic sewing machine. I quilt on mine as well, but nothing fancy, only cross-hatching, or a little shadow quilting.
