There is not much sewing happening at my place. I'm in hand quilting mode.
It was raining in the afternoon so I hand quilted while watching .... have a guess! Yeah, Barbie!
I read many times how people hand quilt in the car. I wanted to try it out. We were only going to my parents' house. There is nothing like highway so there were some turnings and I don't think is worth it since it is only 15 minutes away, lol. Ridiculous is the word to describe my car sewing experience.
I had all the houses quilted around and it was time for pinwheels. I marked circles around and managed to quilt around all of them. I left the quilt on couch to have it cat approved.
I only hand quilted the top and batting together. Now it is time to add polar fleece for backing and move on to sewing machine.
On a way home I snapped this perfect spot for picture taking. I'm afraid these will be gone by the time I finish this quilt.

Very cute! I'd say it's definitely cat approved!
ReplyDeleteyour house quilt is lovely, how appropriate whilst watching Barbie. I couldn't quilt in the car, I would be sick, trains and planes are ok though. hope you are having a great summer
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is looking really good but your kitty, OMG how adorable is cat approval??? :)
ReplyDeleteVera, that is a wonderful house quilt! And I am in love with your quilt inspector!
ReplyDeleteI can't do anything in a car without getting motion sick, but I do see that a lot of people enjoy hand quilting as they travel. Perhaps you could keep a stash of hexies going for car trips?
Your houses with 3D pinwheels are so cute. Love the dancers in each window.
ReplyDeleteHow precious is your cat? Love that particular photo of its face. This is turning out so cute.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a very happy and satisfied cat. I get motion sick, so I can't do much in a car other than drive, talk, or nap. I am extremely jealous of people who can read and be productive on a trip!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos in this post. I love the quilt - and the cat is pretty cute, too!
ReplyDeleteI love the little ballerinas in the houses! Precious! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI have some of these Sommerville fabrics and it's so fun to see what you've done with them.
ReplyDeleteAww...cute cat! Your quilt is already getting lots of love. :) Happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteI already know this is going to be my favourite of all of your projects - I'm excited to see it getting nearer to completion, and I know a certain young miss will be happy too, next month :) Your gorgeous kitty (boy or girl?) looks like a very qualified quilt inspector - I miss mine!
ReplyDeleteCat approved... tick
ReplyDeleteI can't do anything in the car - not only is it too awkward most of the time, but doing anything in the car tends to make me car sick.
I like that final photo. I hope it is still theat way by the time you get your quilt done.
Hezky pěkně :-)))To jsem se poránu zasmála.Bude to parádní quilt!!!Kocourovi se taky líbí.Díky za nádherné fotky,zdravím,Mirka
ReplyDeleteHand quilting..... Now that's special! Your daughters quilt is going to be soooo COOL!
ReplyDeleteI remember that time when all we could watch was Cartoon Network. My husband used to say that our tv was stuck.... Your cat looks like a cousin of our cat. I'll post a photo soon.
LOVE your country scene photo!
I can see why the cat was quick to 'test' it - it looks so soft and cuddly with that lovely thick batting! Great work, looking forward to seeing it finished!
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, I don't think I could quilt in the car while moving. Love the cat approval!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is adorable, and the quilting is going to be so lovely! It adds such a sweet detail around the houses.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful but I'm afraid kitty steals the show. He/She is adorable.
ReplyDeletevery lovely!
ReplyDeletehugs ♥
I am so glad to see you finishing the ballerina quilt, Vera! That hand quilting will add such a handmade touch! Gorgeous colours in that quilt! My husband is baling hay today, too, but small square bales. Beautiful scenic photo!
ReplyDeleteI so love your little houses, but the kitty is stealing the show.....beautiful cat.
ReplyDeleteI cannot do any sewing in the car because of motion sickness. I envy you!
ReplyDeleteThe cat is gorgeous.
Your quilt and your cat are wonderful! The hand stitching is really giving the quilt that extra special touch.
ReplyDeleteYour hand stitching is beautiful, as is the whole quilt. There is nothing as important as having a quilt, cat approved. Barbie has good taste.
