When I first came back here, I found myself with hours and hours on my hands with nothing to keep those hands busy, so I called around and found a lady at the Church that was purchasing some inexpensive hand-pieced tops to have quilted for keeping on hand to give away. (Wow, was that the longest run-on sentence, or what ?)
Anyway, she let me pick one to quilt, and I chose this one. Unfortunately, none of them were really candidates for lengthy, time-consuming hand-quilting........I mean, that wasn't the point of this project anyway. So, I machine-quilted this one on my Singer stand-up, cabinet model sewing machine......
you know the one !
And, I hand-quilted around the center square of each nine-patch block. I even sewed the binding on entirely by machine, and am happy to be able to deliver it to her this coming Sunday, Lord willing.
Very cute! My grandmother sewed on one of those...she would always tell us don't touch it or it will get your fingers lol. I have one here that someone was going to trash I have no idea if it works but it reminds me of her : )
