Instead I just keep tension with my hands, and also my knees, (I stitch sitting with my knees bent upward, resting the quilt on them). It also helps that with these work quilts I have first done a layer of machine quilting... that works great to keep the layers from shifting.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913095438247860953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-34806072828645175282011-01-17T17:01:53.396-05:002011-01-17T17:01:53.396-05:00Hi - I love your blog and your quilts and pincushi...Hi - I love your blog and your quilts and pincushions.

His shot cottons are on the thin side, so they already have that washed and worn sort of feel that usually only time brings on.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913095438247860953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-57298523008707894222011-01-10T11:25:52.218-05:002011-01-10T11:25:52.218-05:00Glorious colors and texture!
