Quilting Project 2022

Lilysmom1 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 19:03:05 GMT

I spent the morning measuring, cutting and putting together my winter project. All ready for quilting now.

It took a cool windy day after a very warm spell to motivate me to get going. Now I can dream about summer as I go through winter! I will have to get the wood stove set up for a fire so I am good to go. LM

Looks like a shell collector's dream and a lot of work. Bring on winter!

@Lilysmom1 Do you quilt around each image?

@Mom2Dogs , yes. The cold weather struck this morning. At freezing level so time to get the wood stove going and the quilting on! LM

@Lilysmom1 This brings back lots of good memories for myself. My momma owned quilting frames and we would set it up in the winter and leave it! We made a butterfly, double wedding ring, dutch doll, farmer boy with overalls, tulip quilt, a star quilt and others. My momma taught me many things in north Mississippi except how to get over her loss. Have fun quilting as it is a perfect winter project!

@Boomernichols , I am glad this brings back memories of you mom. Teaching some one to quilt is giving a special gift. At one time , I thought I would never have the patience but that was the easy part. My grandmother was a tailor. I was hoping some of that ran in my genes but I think practice makes perfect. Although I think some people are gifted, It is a skill that you need to use to get better.

I usually do my work, errands in the morning and quilt in the afternoon near the wood stove. It is a lovely pass time.

I had a large quilting frame but I sold it. I like to quilt with smaller frames in my lap.

I need to sit down with my spools of thread and choose a colour pattern and then we will be off! LM
