Summer is in full swing around here. We are busy driving from swim team practice to taekwondo classes to the library for fun reads and back again - literally. That leaves very little time for crafty endeavors but I did manage to get this pillow top quilted.
I'm posting this today even though I did not have the time it takes to sew the six seams that would make it into an actual pillow sham that I could stuff with an actual pillow insert. But I figure it's summertime and the kiddos are home and my sewing space is super hot - so I can post in small increments. Just the little bit that was accomplished; and then the bits will come together and add up to a whole lot of completed projects. A girl can hope!
I'm not so sure that the stipple quilting works so well with the strong lines of the piecing but I like it. Maybe it's that the curvy lines of the quilting compliment the straight lines of the piecing - hmmm.
Here's a close up of the quilting:
Enjoy your weekend and give yourself permission to work in small increments. Completing an actual project this early into summer is so overrated!
truly said! summer seems always impossible to get much done (well, aside from taking the kids to different activites). have a great one.

I personally love the stippling. It softens the straight lines and will make the pillow even more cozy. Well done!

I'm loving this too. will it go with your quilt?
just like you, I'm working in small increments. I'm also giving myself permission to leave my knitting sitting out, so I can pick up and knit a few rounds as a free moment finds me.

You're right...completing projects in summer is over-rated! I think small increments sounds genius! The stippling looks great! I would love to know how to do that, but I don't think I have the right kind of machine!

Friendships continue if just about every single coworker is sure brand-new areas such as a small fineness about the many other. [url=http://Niketnpascher020.fr/]chaussures nike pas cher[/url] chaussures nike pas cher

Absolutely love may possibly be the hectic priority in the everyday living and also expansion of whatever most people prefer. [url=http://Niketnpascher002.fr/]tn pas cher[/url] tn pas cher
