I bet it shows in the finished quilt, too.

My least favorite part of our hobby is pressing huge fronts and backs of quilts. I also get a little bored with machine quilting if I do it for too long without a break. I could piece for many hours straight.dqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186878644626859511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-72294957195731535332018-06-11T12:07:34.695-05:002018-06-11T12:07:34.695-05:00I hate that step too.

And worthwhile project they are - especially that trimming of Magnolia. I'm 100% sure that Trudy will appreciate all the care you took with your flimsy before sending it on to her!

I need to be more meticulous in my own work because I’m sometimes taking the tiniest crochet hook to pull some little bit from between the weave of my fabric. It’s scary too. I know what you mean about the empty nest. Matthew moved into his new place this week, and it’s been pretty quiet here without him.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835208971743967582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-80545832290157226742018-06-11T06:08:58.132-05:002018-06-11T06:08:58.132-05:00Happy stitching this week.
