I have been doing the same thing all day too, did make some roasted vegetable soup, but that is it! Love these movies.

Nice job! I have wondered, do you quilt around each hexagon or in zig zag lines when doing a GFG?

mimmy96 10-19-2013 03:07 PM

ACTUALLY.. I didn't even really know the lady, but someone knew in my church I did crafts and such... so they told them about me and I got it all for free!!!!!!!!! :)

My Saturday was spent with my grandson who asked to spend the night last night. We looked for items to use when we carve/paint pumpkins next week. Then I took him to lunch, then we went to his brother's football game. Came home and discovered my son was here with his little boy so spent the rest of the afternoon playing with him! It doesn't get much better than that! When the kids aren't here the next best thing is sewing. I'm working on making a bunch of hexies for some sort of quilt - don't know how I'm going to put them together but I love the looks of them.

Beautiful!!!!!!

llweezie 10-20-2013 07:14 AM

It is beautiful! My nother left me a quilt just like that and it is not finished, I have to get that done, I have been dragging my feet.... She hand quilted the whole entire quilt.... !

You (all of you who hand quilt) have so much patience and skill, and I applaud you for it. I have a quilt started by an now deceased member of our guild. She was hand quilting it, and I know that I should finish it, and I want to do that to honor her, but so far I have not worked up the courage to start it.

crafty pat 10-20-2013 10:30 AM

I love your quilt. My DM did everything on her quilts by hand and I loved how they turned out. My RA keeps me from hand quilting but I love seeing those that others have done.

I understand what you are saying! Takes SOOOOO much time. But it was started that way, so I am making myself finish it my hand. I will say though, hand quilting is not really for me. I can get so much more done on the machine. but I am enjoying something different for a change forsure! :)

I LOVE how hand quilted ones look!!! To me they have a totally different story than machine ones!

I am working on my first one now. Still have about ten to do then I can start quilting. It is my favorite quilt pattern. I hand quilted two my mother left when she passed. So special.

Doncha just love doing that? I watch old movies when sewing on binding. Doesn't get much cozier than that. And look at your beautiful results.

That's lovely hand stitching. You have my admiration for getting it done! Love Hallmark channel, too!
