This is going to be my creative spot for the next month or so as I hand stitch the koi quilt. Quilting by hand is very slow, of course, so I don't have a lot to show off every day. I can only devote a couple of hours to this piece while I'm on my mid-day work break, and I'm trying to make my stitches smaller, so I'm even slower than usual.
Despite that this is my favorite part of making a quilt. I get a lot of time to think as I work, and the act of stitching together patchwork is very soothing. I also do some reading and watch videos on my lap top as I work.
This is the quilting I've finished so far this week: one bar block and about half of a log cabin block (aka not much). I'm using nine different colors of hand quilting thread, and have pre-threaded nine needles so whenever I need to switch colors, so I'm set.
