The fabric in the center is one of my favorites – it’s just so happy!

WalkingSquares 27 through 30
Yay! I did it! I followed Becky’s #WalkingSquares challenge, walked outside and took photos every day in November (except one). If I am to be honest, I will have to admit that for me, this challenge is not so much WalkingSquares, as it is StrollStopAndStareSquares. But going very slowly and pausing often, allows me to […]
WalkingSquares 20 through 26
This week I continued to walk for Becky’s #WalkingSquares Challenge. I walked outside every day except Tuesday, and I am going to have to count going up and down the grocery store aisles that day as my walk for the day. 🙂 We had a lot of cloudy days, and my 5-year-old camera couldn’t cope […]
WalkingSquares 13 through 19
Lots of weather changes this week and a few good pictures! Sunday, November 13, was a beautiful day, clear and cold. I was able to get some nice clear pictures of Pine Warblers. They are year-round residents but they usually stay pretty high up in the shadows of the pine trees. Tuesday was cold and […]
WalkingSquares 6 through 12
I am enjoying the WalkingSquares challenge set by BeckyB of Winchester, to get out and walk each day in November. Most days I walk around our farm, but on two days this week I ventured further afield. Sunday November 6 was warm and overcast. Nothing phenomenal showed up to be photographed, but this cloud formation […]
WalkingSquares 1 through 5
BeckyB of Winchester is asking us all to accompany her in walking every day in November, and in capturing a square image from our daily walks. This is my first time in joining in on a Squares Challenge. I do walk around our farm about three days a week normally, but for this challenge I […]

Do you quilt that pattern using a machine or by hand? I don’t quilt so I’m curious.
A machine. I have done two quilts by hand and it took forever! Learning to use the machine took some time but it’s worth it – the quilting only took about 4 or 5 hours.
The stipple is beautiful! If you do machine quilt it, do you draw in the pattern first with a fabric marker or something or work freehand?
Thanks! I can’t mark it with anything, because I am on the Gulf Coast and the marking just melts away into the humidity! So with each quilt I have made, I have tried different variables to see what works best. On that quilt I used a darning foot with the feed dogs up, cotton thread on top and polyester thread in the bobbin. That combination worked pretty well so I got a smooth motion. The machine-quilting book I learned from is Quilt as Desired by Charlene C. Frable.
such happy colours, it’s lovely!
Thank you! It’s for a pregnancy assistance center in my county so I hope the recipient thinks they are happy colors too!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
