I find that when I want to learn or start something new to me that I think about if for quit a while before I ever actually start. So, do not feel discouraged. A time will come to start just don’t give up. </span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">That is also true in the Lord, isn’t it!!! “Stay steady” is something the Lord has told me for a few years now. </span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">I am a visual learning. In fact, I can watch someone or a video and usually just begin crocheting a new pattern or sewing an item. Practicing is what moves us along until we find we are pleased with a final product. </span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">So, reading, looking at videos, watching a teacher, or going to quilt stores and asking questions is a great way(s) to start. </span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">Remember, no one ever looks at your quilt and actually critiques it. They look at your over all product and admire it…and say “ I wish I could quilt !!!” 😂🤣😂</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghInqdW7BcsB4dcm4SuMA61oMwjACXrarw8uPHlLW3uNbcFEU_b3MeYt_BtBO5sopcc9iMQ7JevJpLlH6rHS198cbZPiADmOWviiWl_slK0_i25_MPzWAFMEMP6fNKrtvdUhKBmSESTyA0IiDjkFE1CH_yOrWOmgQLjxuADq_qKcD6-CmtJ0rk16V2/s4032/1749FC54-F412-4A7C-82E5-F430D9BEBE97.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghInqdW7BcsB4dcm4SuMA61oMwjACXrarw8uPHlLW3uNbcFEU_b3MeYt_BtBO5sopcc9iMQ7JevJpLlH6rHS198cbZPiADmOWviiWl_slK0_i25_MPzWAFMEMP6fNKrtvdUhKBmSESTyA0IiDjkFE1CH_yOrWOmgQLjxuADq_qKcD6-CmtJ0rk16V2/s320/1749FC54-F412-4A7C-82E5-F430D9BEBE97.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">Let’s begin here…</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">You need fabric that you really like, some batting, and a backing fabric. I usually prefer all cotton for fabric and batting although poly batt or bamboo are just fine. You can shop on line, Walmart, Joann’s or Hobby Lobby. I prefer to support our local quilt shops and you also get good friendly advice when needed. You also meet the best ladies at a quilt shop. </span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">You really do not need a pattern. You can cut fabric in squares and just sew together to get started. Or purchased a “ charm pack” of precut 5” squares. Then press your seams. Layer your quilt with backing fabric (cut about 2-4” wider on all sides than your top) , batting appr same size as backing or a bit smaller , and lay your pieced top on the top. Thus three pieces all ready to quilt. You can then pin with large safety pins or specially curved pins for quilting ( which I prefer) , spray baste each layer, or HAND baste …..</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">That’s really it. Some like to machine quit their own quilts, have a professional long arm quilter do your quilting for you but the best is put that quilt in a 12” wooden hoop and start practicing those SMALL stitches with a quilting needle. Place bottom of hoop underneath and top part of hoop with screw mechanism on top , covering design to quilt. Tighten the screw but not too tight leaving the quilt real loose … then tighten screw. You can rock the needle easier and get smaller stitches with looseness in quilt between the hoop.</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">The last is to bind your quilt and make a label …then give to your special one. </span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">Quilt thread is waxy and strong. I use YLI . Hand quilting needles are short. So go ahead and start with a # 10 or 12. Small stitches are made with short needles. A thimble is used on your middle finger to “rock” the needle and pile on two or three small stitches at a time and pull thru. IDEALLY 🤣🤣 you want 10-12 stitches per inch….well, I did say ideally! I am fortunate to get 5 or six an inch. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUZsTBSTLDmLyMTV4PxlPl3IY8SzzANzQsF2msiOxcL_ZG3eo_oAmVW_6lhQbMTLyRil-l4BTjFpQ5KS9KFF0eF-mPLPivqHrAl9-Bd3h4kddNZLnXKpAusN58X6OxiFJuGlyZmpUEB6OXWY9W7hI_X7Zir1Io5JUOVFotORgovvryD6cats9JjIBd/s2048/D6CB44B3-2C0E-45C4-9551-0D2855C1C27D.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUZsTBSTLDmLyMTV4PxlPl3IY8SzzANzQsF2msiOxcL_ZG3eo_oAmVW_6lhQbMTLyRil-l4BTjFpQ5KS9KFF0eF-mPLPivqHrAl9-Bd3h4kddNZLnXKpAusN58X6OxiFJuGlyZmpUEB6OXWY9W7hI_X7Zir1Io5JUOVFotORgovvryD6cats9JjIBd/s320/D6CB44B3-2C0E-45C4-9551-0D2855C1C27D.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">Cut a 12” to 18” of thread and thread your needle. Make a knot in the end leaving about a 1/4” tail. Place the needle underneath the quilt where your design starts OR on top. Pull the thread up and “pop” that knot BETWEEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM LAYERS…INSIDE THE BATTING. . You will hear the knot pop and may need to give it a good jerk. (Do all of this once quilt is tightened in the hoop.)</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7aP0picT2qk0sWHUElechXfif5sniatb_iFCeGbdqK6ycWW931IZzLyn8UWJVWIQgirHpcT9jvCZt7R2LpLnJvB5NRjUKWq6Dcoa33iQq6M4BVXcuks56lPT9c8v8bKjmJ70OYmgckcpTL3w-1BpRQRqysLWsMOwoxFg3DuQfeG2_fRgIGkhSad27/s2270/5CEB18AC-0813-4238-96B7-524DA666AAC2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1702" data-original-width="2270" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7aP0picT2qk0sWHUElechXfif5sniatb_iFCeGbdqK6ycWW931IZzLyn8UWJVWIQgirHpcT9jvCZt7R2LpLnJvB5NRjUKWq6Dcoa33iQq6M4BVXcuks56lPT9c8v8bKjmJ70OYmgckcpTL3w-1BpRQRqysLWsMOwoxFg3DuQfeG2_fRgIGkhSad27/s320/5CEB18AC-0813-4238-96B7-524DA666AAC2.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi34sPHYiTbDEpt8iIc9QHKLgVLOeavLHXZNt-twuZW6akiN9quJT4Y_fA9Ag-9yotR-cLySJ-aTPkFIo_dIRCBqc9kZonpG3KULGoLD8jz4ux1v_e83T79kIA88_cNHfx3fUoQCvRSQjNgEvhiGnoFDJAeZaGXXWNNLRYSwcQ3EtW08clhFUX8DS5c/s2270/FF289F26-F96B-493E-AD39-00A1F354B5FE.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1702" data-original-width="2270" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi34sPHYiTbDEpt8iIc9QHKLgVLOeavLHXZNt-twuZW6akiN9quJT4Y_fA9Ag-9yotR-cLySJ-aTPkFIo_dIRCBqc9kZonpG3KULGoLD8jz4ux1v_e83T79kIA88_cNHfx3fUoQCvRSQjNgEvhiGnoFDJAeZaGXXWNNLRYSwcQ3EtW08clhFUX8DS5c/s320/FF289F26-F96B-493E-AD39-00A1F354B5FE.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">With thimble on your right middle finger, place the eye end of the needle against the flat part of the thimble and the sharp part into the top fabric. Your right hand thumb will feel the needle and your left hand will be under the hoop against the backing fabric. You will feel the needle end with your left middle finger. Then ( rock your needle) go up and down as close together as you can…getting about two or three stitches on the needle BEFORE you pull it through.

When we lived on the NC coast, we left on holidays to avoid the crowds and usually asked friends down so they could enjoy the beach. Now, we still like to avoid the crowds . My sister and brother-in-law are visiting on Saturday. They live in a neighboring small town where we hope to move before long. Family is important to us and every one who was here when we moved back home has since died or moved. Now it’s just us… 😎 At 66 and 75 we are up to a move!!!</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: medium;">I’m enjoying rereading “ Unlikely” an autobiography by Rick Renner. He and his family live in Russia as Christian missionaries and are doing a wonderful job spreading the good news. He and his wife, Denise, and two of their sons and families are presently feeding hot meals and providing food boxes to those in need during this horrible crises in that area of our world.

Our best gardens ever were when Cliff would hoe up a 4’ X 20’ space in our back yard and I’d mix in lime and 10-10-10 fertilizer and water away. Sunflowers 🌻with yellow gold finches flying all around to get those seeds, corn 🌽, tomatoes 🍅, eggplant 🍆, peppers🫑, and “ colored “ butter beans as we call them in the South but many call them speckled butter beans and are my favorite. Lots of herbs, zinnias and gladiolus.</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;">This year I planned two heirloom tomatoes, cayenne peppers, one cherry tomato, dill, camomile, basil, and parsley. Everything in my raised bed on legs but the two tomatoes and scattered sunflowers… one little area of zinnias and 8 Dollar Tree “glads”, as my grandmother called them.</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I’ve already had to start daily watering as it was 90 here today in Eastern NC. </span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Saw the first snake 🐍yesterday but it was on the small side and I think it was a garden/good snake. Beside Cliff is our snake killer and he’s not up to doing that right now so I had to just let it go on its way. I do plan on going to Lowes and getting some “ Snake Begone” next week to sprinkle around the edge of the carport. That will make me feel safer getting in the car. I know we need them so I really do not like killing them if they just move on…</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;">So, how’s your gardening going? </span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;">I am still working on my hand quilting but I will be for some time. I kinda enjoy spreading it out and picking it up most days. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-PEdrxFT_UV6PmLYfVoLFVmIyKvZsUTCDj75bfaFKiI17AZxI-N932caL59ktTH_idAcFu8wx7eZsTqETaOKsLqdxHiqXOPyZshC9XhSayPcpe8uBfE5KT38RlCxoeaKz6dbGKTtu_rxpNvM5BTM8KxtCdofmeDxsj2dQdk19r-q5wJgU1YtQkfUA/s4032/793D2369-A3FC-4B0C-9437-5BBA5DBB4699.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-PEdrxFT_UV6PmLYfVoLFVmIyKvZsUTCDj75bfaFKiI17AZxI-N932caL59ktTH_idAcFu8wx7eZsTqETaOKsLqdxHiqXOPyZshC9XhSayPcpe8uBfE5KT38RlCxoeaKz6dbGKTtu_rxpNvM5BTM8KxtCdofmeDxsj2dQdk19r-q5wJgU1YtQkfUA/s320/793D2369-A3FC-4B0C-9437-5BBA5DBB4699.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Blessings all,</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Kathy</span></p><p><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>Kathryn D.
