I was intending to start once I'd finished piecing the top of my Roll Roll Cotton Boll Mystery quilt. No such luck. I'm massively behind in the RRCB and with the flooding in Queensland, charity quilts are needed now.
I promised DH I wouldn't start on any til I finished DS Dino quilt and the quilt that's supposed to cover one of the sofas. They're both on the UFO Domination list so that's excellent and I have 2 more UFOs which I wasn't planning to finish this year as part of the challenge but I think I will since they were supposed to be charity quilts all along.
So...I've quilted another chunk of the dino quilt. It's taking sooo long!
Here's a progress report
I simply don't get it. I'm sure I could do it a few months ago when I last worked on the quilt. I double checked that the feed dogs were down.
My wrist is getting stronger not weaker since my last surgery in September so it can't be that but if I have slightly wet hands it seems to help. Maybe I should try those quilters gloves?
Right now I'm just grabbing handfuls of quilt and pulling it around. It doesn't make the quilting look any good. Any thoughts?
try rubbing your hands wih a bar of glycerin (clear) soap..makes them a little tacky and helps you to guide the quilt a bit better...
ReplyDeletei think you are doing a great job - and i can see why it is taking you so long!!! re the movement part - i have followed kellie of 'don't look now' recommendation of ansell gloves, just the ones you buy from the supermarket - she talks about them here http://dontlooknow.typepad.com/dont_look_now/pay-it-forward/
