Hand quilting Olivia's quilt

Olivia's quilt


Most of my evenings are spent hand quilting Olivia's pink quilt. I decided to do a simple 'in the ditch' stitch around the squares. I had planned to have Sarah, Hannah and Olivia quilts finished last year but that plan got delayed since meeting Andrew. Thankfully he is patient and best of all likes seeing me sit and sew. If I'm not sewing he'll ask me why I'm not sewing - a hint to pick up the needle.


Normally I just baste the quilts with basting spray but recently I started using the curved safety pins as well.
