Hello All,
I stumbled across this board the other day and love it! I am new to quilting. We are expecting #2 any day now and I have been making a quilt for the first time. My daughter inherited my baby quilt and I wanted baby #2 to have a quilt too. I have been on bed rest, so I got a lot of time to work on it. I am sewing it by hand, I think I have realized that a machine would be much faster, but I like the satisfaction of doing things the "long" way! At this point, I still have to finish the border, but other than that, I have everything else laid out or done, so as soon as my border is finished, I should be ready to move in super speed and finish it. I am very excited about it. I know it's not perfect but considering my lack of sewing skills, I am very pleased. Thank you all for being here. I am pretty sure I will be posting tons of questions in the future! :lol: Have a great weekend! |

Welcome! And how clever of you to use your bed rest to accomplish something! This board is really fun and will help you to while away some time, too.
I have never hand pieced a quilt, but have hand quilted a few and it makes them so special. You are pouring a lot of love into the quilt with your stitches! |

Greetings from Northern California. Never had any children, but I don't think a sewing machine is the best thing for a pregnant belly on bed rest. :lol:
Hope all goes well with your little one and enjoy your hand stitching. |
