Even though the sewing machine was invented in 1790, hand-quilting was still more popular for the next 100 years.
Weather is very pleasant here,for which I’m thankful for July through the middle of September arent my favorite months.
I didn’t work on my quilt as much as last time .. honestly I always have hopes of doing more than before … often that doesn’t happen. One thing nice about quilting it waits very patiently.
Here’s where I left off last time…
It’s rolled and just an bit worked on.
I have two boxes full of scraps that I will be working on.
That’s it for me. Happy quilting until next time.
This Hand Quilt Along is an opportunity for hand quilters and piecers to share and motivate one another. We post every three weeks, to show our progress and encourage one another. If you have a hand quilting project and would like to join our group contact Kathy at the link below.

That is a lot of scraps. You have work “cut out” for you. 🙂

I love your quilting set up. I so wish I had the room for something like this, it wold make it so much easier to do the larger quilts. I use a large hoop. I think a log cabin pattern for a quilt will be perfect for your scraps 🙂

Thank you! That room was the boys room .. sad to say they grew up.. so I did to fill it up with my sewing. I do use a hoop for smaller quilts that I like to do in the winter . Feels good to have a quilt on the lap on a cold evening.

I am amazed you can manage any quilting at all during your hot months! When you start your log cabin blocks will you grab and sew or do you plot each block out?

AC helps out with the quilting in the summer. For the log cabins half the blocks gets darks and the other half lights, other than that it’s grab and sew.
