Loving a bit of Holiday Sewing....

The best part about going on holiday,
besides being by the sea,
was staying in a cottage with no internet!

This meant I got a chance to do
LOTS of handquilting.


I started this quilt in 2006!


(Eeek! that IS 10 years!!!)

It's is my 'BQL Ostrich'
The story of it can be found here:

I don't hand quilt much anymore
when I can longarm quilt my quilts
in a matter of days.


But it is very enjoyable now and again
to have something in your lap
while you unwind 
from a day of unwinding on the beach ;o)

I love that you are quilting in colored thread. I am never that brave.
Unwind from a day of unwinding, huh? Sounds fun. : )

Nice to see that project getting another airing - and hurrah for occasional days without tech to distract us!
Beautiful hand quilting.....
