HQAL October 2025

I took about a month off for cross country traveling to explore and visit with my daughter and fam in North Carolina.

I brought some handwork with me, but did not accomplish much. I prefer looking at the scenery as opposed to concentrating on stitching while driving. I did try, but my stitching was pretty wobbly and slow going.

True…the Hubster is driving…don’t stitch and drive at the same time. Ha, ha!

A reminder of what I am working on:

A reminder of where I was when last I shared:

That block is now stitched!

I have all nine of the completed blocks up on the design wall.

They are awaiting a wash and then will be pressed and squared up.

I am deciding how I want to sew these cute bee blocks together. Do I want to make a small wall hanging? That was my original purpose for joining this group, but now I am having second thoughts. Do I want to make a couple of table runners? Bee pillows? I dunno. What would you make with these?

If you would like motivation to move your hand quilting projects forward, then consider joining this little group. No pressure; just encouragement. Details below.

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.

HQAL August 2025

Every third Sunday sure comes around in a hurry!

A reminder of where I was when I shared three Sundays ago:

I finished that block.

The last block is in the frame.

This one won’t be done for awhile, unless I decide to bring it with me on a cross-country trip.

We’ll see.

I do have forward progress to share, and any forward progress is a good thing!

Here is a reminder of where I was in this quilt-along (I do plan on making a quilt from these stitcheries):

If you need incentive to work on your hand quilting, then consider joining up. Having to show my progress definitely helps to keep me going on a project!
