Gee's Bend Quilting

Today I have been at the Quilt Group that I belong to. It has been a great opportunity
to sit and quilt and chatter. I took along my Gee's Bend quilt and started the quilting having decided what I was going to do last night.



I decided to go ahead with chunky quilting stitches in embroidery thread. and just went 
roughly down the middle if each piece. I chose Cosmo Threads from Japan as I 
really like working with these. They come on a spool and are two strands, 
which makes them so much easier to keep tidy. And they have a subtle sheen 
on them even though they are 100% cotton. And the colours are lovely greyed tonings.




Hopefully I will finish the quilting tonight and put the binding on tomorrow ready to take to 
our Art Group Meeting on Monday.

  1. Robyn i have enjoyed reading all your posts. You have such a wide range of things on the go - you are very inspirational.

    The stitching on this square really brings it to life. Have not used Cosmos threads yet but they do look lovely and shiny for cotton.
