Honchey, what is wrong with my quilting is that my stitches aren't all that pretty. Sometimes I'm ok with what I can do for quilting, then other times I'm just disgusted. I don't think I could make a quilt for a show unless I hired the quilting out to somebody who does it well.

In that quilt I STID all around the big hexagons/stars, and then for the center of the hexes I did a sort of snowflake. Just a simple one to hold the hexes down a bit more.

Givio, my 'nice big table' is actually the dining room table! I took over the dining room, a room we only used once or twice a year, and made it my downstairs (main) sewing space. I started that years ago when I was taking care of my elderly dad. It allowed me to be around him all the time for whatever he needed. Now he's gone but I am able to sew near the hubby and watch the TV in the living room (if I want to), monitor food in the oven, etc. while I sew. My dining room has big windows too. Perfect sewing area.

OK, I love your quilt! What a pretty design and colors. Your quilting looks great to me. What kind of machine did you use?

Bev, so happy your Mom got moved to rehab. May she continue to improve....
