I adore stitch days and today was no exception! I had the wonderful Andi from
Patch Andi come and visit me, ahh, she is so inspiring! I think I talked more than stitched, but Andi pin basted this gorgeous creation....
You can read about this beautiful quilt
here.
Of course we had to have a break for lunch...
Sitting in the shade of our plum tree surrounded by my husbands very large woodpile!!
Andi is hand quilting her divine Little Folks quilt....
Of course I am useless remembering to take photographs, so I didn't even get a pic of Andi quilting this soft as feathers quilt
(photo above from Andi's blog). You will have to wait until she has finished it and blogs about it herself, but I can tell you, her hand quilting is superb. You can check out how she basted these slippery layers of voile together
here...brilliant!!
I was so inspired by Andi's quilt I have decided my Little Folks Snowball quilt must be my next UFO, hand quilting it of course!
I did get a little stitching on my Roseville coral tree done...
All in all a fabulous Stitch Day, thanks Andi!
Isn't it wonderful to meet such beautiful quilters through our blogs? We quilters are blessed. xo
