Thanks to all of you who commented on my request for information on how to improve my hand quilting. I’ve mostly taught myself to quilt from books and the internet, and although I belong to a quilting guild they do more talking about quilting (and show and tell time) than actual quilting.
However, I’m on the committee for the guild this year, so that’s something I’d like them to think about. One of the problems is that the guild is now so big (over 60 members at each meeting) that it’s hard to do more than talk… I should try and join one of the small groups now that Gorgeous Girl is here and I’m not working…
Anyway, back to the point, Gorgeous Girl has been taking some nice long naps and this has enabled me to finish a block.
I’ve taken your advice and the next block underway is looking much better.
Yesterday Gorgeous Girl wore her newly modified top.
I just had to throw in a gratuitous cute kid picture 
We went to the fabric store yesterday to look for fabrics for a Christmas stocking and an Advent Calendar – the selection was pretty limited, and quite dated, but it will do. Pictures once the camera’s batteries are recharged, somehow both sets are dead. Most annoying.
I’m enjoying seeing the bookmarks starting to arrive at their destinations in the bookmarks swap, hope mine arrives soon. Sorry someone is waking up, so no links.
Have a wonderful day.
You may be critical of your hand-quilting, but it looks really great to me. And GG looks fab in her new top!
The quilting is just amazing so far! I’m very impressed
GG is growing every time I see her!!
sure is cute : ) quilt looks great too. I wish I could hand quilt well enough to be happy with the end result, but it always looks a bit too crappy for my perfectionist streak!
The quilting looks GREAT- love that block!!
