A number of years ago I began this quilt. I designed, cut it, sewed it and quilting was the only thing left to do. It's a Irish chain - nine square pattern (2" squares) I remember when I set the blocks and thought this is gonna be big project. It was! My father-in-law, Irvin made the quilting frame for me when I was working on a quilt for Grandpa John. We've been cleaning the storage shed and garage and came across the quilting frame which then reminded me of my unfinished quilt. I hand quilted about 1/3 of it so far. It was stored in my craft studio behind the door, still on the frame poles! Too easy I said to myself...
I set it all up yesterday and ready to get my supplies.... ruler "check", pencil "check", thimble "check", quilting needles "check", and quilting thread...darn it no quilting thread! Today I have thread...
I sat down for two hours today and noticed my stitches need practice. But it did feel good to quilt.
