Earlier this year I decided that in 2019 I would hand stitch a small quilt from start to finish. I was just going to watch a bunch of YouTube videos and figure it out as I went but thanks to Kristin and Patty I won't have to figure it out on my own.
They are hosting a hand pieced quilt along starting in January. I will add a link over on the sidebar so you can go check it out and see if you would like to stitch along with me.
I couldn't wait until January so I grabbed a few 2.5" squares, drew my lines, and stitched them together.
I already do a lot of embroidery so stitching on a line wasn't very hard at all. It will take a little practice to get my hands in a position that works for me. First time all my seams matched so well.
After Christmas I will be ordering the little wooden seam roller. I think that will help get everything to lay nice and flat. A little more practice on the long seams and I will be all set. I've also decided that while I will show my progress over on my WiP It Wednesday videos, I'll only be discussing my progress here on my blog.
Is anyone else joining?
It is tempting that is for sure.
