Welcome to my patchwork journal. I enjoy expressing myself through fiber. Tiny pieces of vintage quilt blocks and fabric combined with hand stitches create my art. When not quilting I'm living a patchwork life. Always changing and helping to keep me young and on my toes. Join me in my experiences and thoughts.

Making Progress
I'm slowly working on the Nothing Runs Like a Deere quilt. The only large quilting I have ever done has been at church on a wooden quilting frame. So how was I going to handle this quilt??? I started with a large oval hoop, but it was uncomfortable, so with some help from a quilting friend, I'm lap quilting with out a hoop. My stitches are larger than I'm use to, but I think that will improve with practice.
The holding of the quilt is sometimes awkward and I find that I rush my stitches. The other issue is a deadline. This quilt needs to be completed by June 1. I may not be blogging for a few days----just know I'm quilting. Happy Quilting to you too!!!!!
