Straight Line?? Quilting
After making many quilts, I’m surprised to discover I can’t quilt a straight line without guiding marks. Thankfully I have several washable marking options to use. My favorites for this quilt are Clover® White Marking Pen and IBC® Fine Tip Pen. Both are water erasable.
This year’s resolution has me making an effort to quilt each day. I’ve found on some days, I’ve set aside too much time and end up so tired, it’s difficult to slip into the thimble the following day. The resolution has helped though… whereas the last 2 quilts each took nearly a year to quilt, this one is over a fourth done and it’s only been in the frame for three weeks. Not bad, especially when considering I’ve been doing extra cooking and cleaning too (more New Year’s resolutions). If only I could be as successful at losing weight!
So glad to finally see some sunshine after days and days of drippy, gray weather. Our temperature is still frigid (for East Texas) but a blue sky is always a welcomed sight.

You go, Girl. Next time, let’s talk about Space Bags’ potential for quilt storage. Have various shapes and sizes.
