It was the first (and only) complete line of fabric I've ever purchased. (and I've gone back and purchased more here and there ;-) This quilt actually has several other pieces of Jenean Morrison, too ~ several of her lines play nicely together :-)<br /><br />Ter ~ he wasn't sure he wanted it at first ;-) (he can't 'see' things like we can...) but now he keeps reminding me that it is already cold.... I think it will be warm again before I finish though.<br /><br />Kris ~ you better believe I'll be posting pictures when it's finally finished!! :-)the mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442659609532682275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-23573642523188116082014-02-27T11:29:32.222-06:002014-02-27T11:29:32.222-06:00This looks beautiful.

I recognise the snippets of California Dreaming fabric - I have a strip quilt in each colour way myself.<br />The hand quilting really adds a special something to the mix too - a long term project which will soon be done and enjoyed for many years.Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-90639945672955968152014-02-26T14:03:34.712-06:002014-02-26T14:03:34.712-06:00This is beautiful!

Maybe you need a different needle? I like to use a straw needle. (size 9, I think? maybe 8) It is a smidge tricky to thread sometimes, but I like it lots better than a chenille needle - which is what people seem to recommend using with the perle.<br />You could try using using just 2 strands of floss and running it through some Thread Heaven first.<br />That's mostly what I used on this quilt http://www.pursuingjoy.blogspot.com/2013/07/colorful-chevrons-and-painted-rocks.html because I needed so many colors (except I used 3 strands, to be the same thickness as perle) <br />Hope that helps, but I'd be happy to help you brainstorm more on it if you'd like - my e-mail addy is in my profile :-)<br />~Tracythe mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06442659609532682275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137238438362331675.post-82158966392862095322014-02-26T11:26:09.703-06:002014-02-26T11:26:09.703-06:00One hundred hours?

I am slow, and spend a lot more time on quilts than my friends seem to! :)<br /><br />I'm planning on doing some hand quilting soon, and am curious about the thread/floss you are using. Can you tell me what it is? I've used DMC Perle 8, I believe, and didn't like it one bit! But I also don't want to spend $5 per skein/spool of any other brand...<br /><br />Thanks!
