Slow Stitching Sunday
I enjoyed stitching my September slice. I got out my book by Carole Samples Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stithes. It has wonderful combinations of stitches. I have had this book for years and never properly used it. It uses basic stitches in interesting combinations. So, I didn't really learn any new stitches but I did enjoy combining stitches in new ways. I might find that more helpful in the long wrong. The weather has still been cooperative for stitching outside. The week ahead looks good too. I might get a jump start on my October slice. It is sad to think about putting away the deck furniture but it can wait at least a week. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
It is always nice to see one's own work on display.
ReplyDeleteWhen you look at quilts at a show, do your have some kind of plan? I mean do you look for quilts that are perfect, or pink, or have a lot of embroidery? Do you look for a quilt you wish you had made, a quilt that has a unique technique, or a quilt with a message...
When I go to a quilt show, I grade quilts according to how much I would be willing to pay for them, or if I would love to have them in my home, I also look for craftsmanship and innovation.
