HQAL July 2025

I lost a day.

I thought today was Saturday and I would have time for a few more stitches and write a HQAL (hand quilt stitch along) post.

Oops.

Needless to say, I haven’t accomplished much in the stitching department.

A reminder of where I was three weeks ago:

I really wanted this block finished, but here is my progress as of today:

Maybe others have managed more progress than I have! Check them out! I am going to.

Hand Quilt Along Links

This Hand Quilt Along is an opportunity for hand quilters and piecers to share and motivate one another. We post every three weeks, to show our progress and encourage one another. If you have a hand quilting project and would like to join our group contact Kathy at the link below.

Have fun and carry on!

The Sister Magical Unicorn Update

Remember this project?

The Magical Unicorn

I am finally working on the sister quilt!

Another ombre for the backing…shows all of the ‘oopsies’ with my machine quilting.

I hate it when I have the tension just right and then, for no reason whatsoever, the tension switches up.

It needs readjusting. But I don’t notice, since I am merrily stitching away thinking that all is well in bobbin land.

I don’t pick it out unless it is really bad.

A perfectionist, I am not.

The Magical Unicorn

I still have the flowers, the rainbow, and the sky to quilt.

Getting there.
