In my sewingroom there is a pile of quilts ready to be quilted. Some are already basted and some I just have the top ready. Walking into my sewingroom today I told myself that Sundays will be the day that I work on one quilt in this pile. Hopefully there will be some finishes.
This is the one I picked for todays work. Leannes Beasley’s “At home stitching” from Homespun magazine several years ago. It has been ready basted for a long time, but I had not decided whether I should machinequilt it or handquilt it. But today I traced the lines with my heramarker.
And started to handquilt it. Long time since I handquilted, and I realised I have missed it.
Several hours later I have a finish. My first finish in 2013 and I really love this little quilt. Now I have to find the right place to hang it.
Saying for today:

Oh - that is wonderful. Actually you remind me that I have a credit at amazon.com. Perhaps I can see if they have book of Leanne B's. patterns. I always love the things that you make of hers. Wishing you a very happy new year. Stay warm and dry.
