I am joining in with Thursday's My Creative Space at Kootoyoo.
This week there's been some quilting happening in my creative space. The quilt top that has been languishing for so long - orphaned from batting and backing - was basted for me by some very kind mates.
I'm not much good with crawling around on the floor and less so with following rules. So when I heard just how many pins I needed to affix into said quilt, naughty thoughts of shortcuts entered my head. Thankfully I was saved from myself.
For now that is. Wait til I show you my quilting ...
Thank you very much Kirsty for hosting My Creative Space. Its great fun seeing what everyone is doing. To see who else is showing their creative space today (or to join in), head over here.
wow! oh my gosh thats alot of pins!
ReplyDelete...this is what friends are for, saving ourselves from ourselves ;o) happy stitching...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of pins and what a lot of patience, think I'm in short supply of both! Are you machine or hand stitching?
ReplyDeletego you looking forward to seeing the out come x
ReplyDeleteOH WOW!! You have great friends! I don't think I'd have the patience for that many pins so perfectly fixed! Have fun stitching!
ReplyDeletehahah I can see how detailed and precise you are with your project, there's so many pins on it! xoox
ReplyDeletePins and crawling around on the floor is what made me embrace the commercial machine quilter! I need to get some curved pins like you have though - I'm old-school and always struggle with the normal pins. Very ouchy.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt! Enjoy the quilting.
I am glad they saved it - it is lovely.I hate the basting part - drives me insane and I am always trying to do it with as few pins as possible.
ReplyDeletea co-operative creative space, brilliant work by all involved, such a pretty quilt
ReplyDeleteYay for kind friends, can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteits look amazing Liesl.
ReplyDeleteI reckon though - go the shortcuts!! I know I'm evil, but I love how you aren't proper. xo
Just lovely, Liesl. Can't wait to see it stitched and bound!
ReplyDeleteI'm very much looking forward to seeing the shortcut quilt job.
ReplyDeleteLookin good Liesl!
ReplyDeleteOh the patience! What a good girl not taking short cuts...the very reason I've steered clear of quilting! Hope you are having a super week :)
ReplyDeleteYou will absolutley HATE me for this...but I would be popping a pin in the center of each square too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice - the colour combo's work well - very soothing!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing!!
ReplyDeletebut it looks so pretty ...
ReplyDeleteMy Creative Space
that looks great. where can i get me some mates like yours. i have visions of rule bending like stapling or using a glue gun to fix wadding and backing
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing process. I think I am starting to feel a quilting itch. Looking forward to seeing your quilting... it is looking so good so far.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely friends to baste your quilt for you. Looks lovely
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting! I have a dumb question though! I've never done any patchwork but I've seen other pics on other blogs with loads of pins. What are they for??? Please excuse my quilty ignorance! :)
