No Quilt, Just Stitch

Today I attempted to start the quilting on a little wall hanging. It was awful!! I'm so new to all this quilting stuff and my fabric kept puckering up and the stitching would over lap. UGGHHH!!! I guess I'm just not getting the fabric pulled taut enough?

So I just folded it up, stashed it back in my closet on my craft shelf, and decided to do something a little less intricate! ...

A primitive stitchery that I've had the pattern for and just haven't started it yet. Boy, I'm glad I did that! He's so cute!
I'll get back to the quilt when I'm up for it... maybe in a few days. But for now... Here's my relaxing, no stress project...

  1. That is so cute! Were you handstitching the quilt or doing it on a machine? Maybe it's the fabric.

    Have a blessed Sunday!

  2. Hi Terri, I was using my machine. Maybe I just didn't have it pinned good enough? I'm gonna try again (after I do some seam ripping, yuck!)
