my creative space

today i will mostly be working on my tokyo subway map quilt.

my creative space

i did the quiltalong on oh fransson, finished the top months and months ago, did half the quilting and then gave up as the quilting was so dreadful! i just can't seem to get the tension right, but in the end i just decided to live with it and finish it off. i think the dreadful quilting may have something to do with the thread, it's DMC hand and machine quilting thread, but i think it's too thick so i'll keep it just for hand quilting.

  3. Looks great to me!!! Full disclosure: I've never quilted anything and am supposed to be trying it out this year (maybe!)

  4. I've used the DMC thread too and I agree that it's too thick to machine quilt. I switched to Gutermann now, and like it much better. But your quilt is looking great!
