Big Stitches
In the hoop:
I am working on some big stitch quilting. This WIP is at least ten years old. Yes, I said ten. I pieced it up pretty quickly a LONG time ago and then it sat. I just had no idea how I wanted to quilt it, especially in those long columns of frogs. I finally decided to mix up some hand and machine stitching. So, a friend of mine sewed the cute figure 8s all the way down the columns last summer and now I am finally trying my hand at big stitch quilting.
I just love how it is turning out! The colors are so fun! And since I don't have to worry too much about stitch length, it is going pretty fast too.
All the pretty colors I am using. Happiness.

Very happy colors indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love your big stitching and pretty colored threads! What is big stitching-- just as it appears, a little bigger stitches than traditional quilting? Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteYes! It is just thicker thread and bigger stitches. :)
DeleteOoh, I like the combination of machine quilting and big stitch!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking beautiful!
