Working on my “hand sewing”

April 30, 2008 in Baby Jane Quilt by emily | 3 comments

I tried Anina’s suggestion of monofilament thread in addition to a more spread out zig zag stitch (I think I have a blind hem but I have no idea which it is!). I did the ovals first and then the reverse appliqué. I think I got better (smoother lines) at it as I went on. Of course after I had finished the circle, I realized the center and melons aren’t quite centered in the circle. D’oh! I’m not sure how noticeable it is and I may redo it. I still need to do the corner diamonds. This will be B-7 when done.

    I Love your Quilts! I am amazed at how you get them all done. If I would stop looking at etsy and fabric , I could get some of my projects done!

    Thanks to both of you!

    I try to avoid looking on Etsy… I could spend all day there browsing!
