Bearly A Month

Your quilt and your workmanship is beary, beary, nice. Those plain fabrics don't cover mistakes like "busy" fabrics can. That said, I didn't see mistakes, just cute little bears, neatly dressed for the weather. Welcome to the board from frosty Iowa.

There were a lot of feet included with the purchase, but mostly I used the standard (J) foot. It worked nicely for most of the stitching, but I kept misjudging where the line of stitching should end..I kept thinking I was at the exact end, but when clipping the threads, I was often short of where I wanted to be, so had to go back in to get those last 3 or 4 stitches.
When I added the second backing, I used the walking foot that came with it, and I liked the more open toe it had. My mentor, Judy, told me about the stitch in the ditch foot, so I just ordered a ditch foot from Amazon to use on my next project. (I think my next one won't be so ambitious....)

Link is to the pattern I bought. You'll see I changed things up a bit, but I was trying to make it a little simpler...

I'm really not crazy about hand stitching, so I was trying to find a way to do this as much by machine as possible. But, some things just have to be done by hand, so hopefully my hand stitching will improve, too.
Thank you again, for such nice words!
