Handquilting Adventures !


Sure is difficult for me to handle a bigger quilt under my machine, so I'm trying my hand at good ole hand quilting. I have admired the look but never been able to get it quite right, but I think that now is the time to set my hand and heart to getting it right ! I also need to work on some more tops and get them finished . **** If you're down around southeast Texas or southwest Louisiana come and visit the farmers market while it is still on ! Located at the parking lot of Bealls on Mac Arthur Drive in Orange Texas each Sat. of the month . Starts early and we all usually are cleared out around 1:00 , don't know how much longer it will be going on, but we will periodically be setting up after also, you can E-Mail me if you would like directions or to find out if we will be showing . Maybe we will see y'all ! **** Also don't miss the other offerings there; our neighboring marketeers have farm raised fresh green onions , they smell awesome, also my oldest son bought a jar of mayhaw jelly a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, cookies, sweet potatoes and more, my children take their money earned and shop and bring me back delicious surprises ! Here is a photo of one of the favorite baby shower quilts we sell, it seems to fit what people look for in a baby shower gift, it is called baby prayer quilt and we do it in different color and material formats but this is the one we have left until we make another. The next one is going to be the prayer blocks spaced with a muted color blue-ish old fashioned airplane fabric, it's going to be beautiful for a boy !
