The Old Folks Home

Quilting can be very easy, depends on how complex you want to make it. I used to teach quilting classes for Joann fabrics. It is relaxing to me. I sew a lot by hand.

So do I Cap. Do you remember the quilt I was working on with a farm motif, embroidered squares and farm print cloth? I decided that the easiest way for me to do it was to adopt a 'quilt as you go' plan with it. So I'm hand quilting it in strips and it's working out very nicely doing it that way. I'm using a fish scale pattern on the embroidered squares and just outlining the farm print material.

Like you I find quilting relaxing and it's something I can do sitting with my feet up and doesn't causes me pain until the next day when my hands are talking trash to me.

@Krazikatlady64 Welcome to the old folks home. Lots going on here. We may be old but we aren't sitting around letting life pass us by! So glad you could join us here at the home.

We had an inch of snow yesterday and a good coat of ice on it so I have to head out and see if I can pick my nets up before the next winter storm hits tomorrow and Saturday. The chickens have to stay in but gee, they have a nice warm coop and a generous dusting of scratch grain in their bedding to keep them occupied so they are far from suffering.

Cap are you working on any quilts at the moment? I almost have the one done where I put a new top on the old comforter. Thing turned into a monster.
