Hand Quilting at the Curling Club



I have had this wool project basted and ready to hand quilt for months now.  It may become a pillow or it may become a wall hanging...I am not sure yet.  I spent some time working on it while watching my daughter curl on Friday night.  I am quilting around the wool appliqué and have not decided what to do after that.  



My daughter curls in a mixed competitive league.  One of her teammates asked if I was crocheting.  His girlfriend admired my project.  She knew it was not crochet. 

I hope to get some more stitches in this week.

  1. I love your stitching with wool. A question for you once you have a quilt done can it be washed if your wool has been pre-washed? I am thinking of adding a border to a quilt and making the applique from wool for something different - I have never used it before but love the look - but I wash my quilts - if the wool is washed to make sure it doesn't bleed could the quilt be washed?

  5. Love your Bertie block--so funny someone would mistake it for crochet!

  6. What a lovely way to pass the time at curling practice. Your applique is lovely. I think for people who don't handcraft then quilting/crochet/knitting/embroidery are interchangeable in their minds :-)
