I am finding quilting to be a good complement to garment sewing.

Good idea and one to try on a future quilt. Each step of this quilt has been a lot of work, but each one has meant a lot to me. It&#39;s been nice to think about my cousin and the childhood memories of the fun we shared and how much I want him to know I am so grateful of how he made this kid feel so special a long time ago. Thank you for sharing some of your tips and thoughts of quilting too Dharma!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-44608594117303285902014-10-04T14:32:29.911-04:002014-10-04T14:32:29.911-04:00Oh, this is going to be beautiful..

Enjoy the process! I always enjoy hand sewing the binding, because it is the last step and I feel connected to the quilt. It will be a lovely gift..<br />Have you tried basting spray? The spray is used in place of pins. Sometimes you may need to use pins, but not as many.<br />Dharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04910868057225463839[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-62583031473896541142014-10-04T08:42:16.837-04:002014-10-04T08:42:16.837-04:00My mother was born and raised in the Sapulpa area.... (a little town near Tulsa for those not familiar with Oklahoma geography) and she was about the only one in her family to leave Oklahoma when she and my dad married, thus the reason I was born and raised in Alabama, though now live in South Carolina. I recall many many happy times visiting my Oklahoma side of the family during all my childhood years. We would sometimes spend a month of the summer&#39;s out there. My husband&#39;s son and his wife are in Oklahoma City, so that&#39;s a neat connection now too. My cousin, who this quilt will be for, is around Sand Springs. If you click http://pieceworktreasures.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-road-to-oklahoma.html you will see a couple of old Oklahoma photos of my grandparents and I wrote a little more about the history. You might also be interested to know the block I am using for this quilt is called &#39;Road to Oklahoma&#39; and dates to the mid-1800s. At that link I also included links to more historical information about this particular quilt block. It seems our world is small and connected in so many ways!

Just tell Ms. Bernina to hang in there. What part of Okla does your family live? All of my family lives in Oklahoma.Remembering..OZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790275371084859218[email protected]
