Using a "self-threading" needle to do that is a huge time-saver for me, but it's still a tedious task.<br />Mary Hueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930632913728046516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-65573096112834894022014-07-05T00:51:27.426+10:002014-07-05T00:51:27.426+10:00love these colors. the little bicycle in the middl...love these colors. the little bicycle in the middle of the one is adorableKelsey Boeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797569583724057978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-19983704844659082242014-07-01T10:00:41.371+10:002014-07-01T10:00:41.371+10:00I've been working with giant 16-inch hexies, b...I've been working with giant 16-inch hexies, but your dainty EPP ones are lovely and making me consider giving them a go!Michelle @ From Bolt to Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859748817323229803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-70473525216100884622014-06-29T06:04:43.097+10:002014-06-29T06:04:43.097+10:00Beautiful colors!

We've finished up for the term, today.

Just beautiful. <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend. :)Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622521834128746217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-44636438745027290772014-06-27T18:29:44.809+10:002014-06-27T18:29:44.809+10:00Dear Karen,

...Gorgeous! They will be both be beautiful quilts!<br /><br />Being new to quilting I never thought of hand finishing the ends. I would definitely take the time to do that because I don't like to see the back stitching either. Question, is there a tutorial or trick to it? I'm thinking you just need a good length of thread on each end in order to make and bury the knots?Gone Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044426675150865698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-19879012527957736152014-06-26T19:30:37.426+10:002014-06-26T19:30:37.426+10:00I love these pretty patterns and colors, it will b...I love these pretty patterns and colors, it will be a beautiful quilt..It is nice to see your children playing games, legos were popular with my son.

The beautiful neatness of your sewing always mesmerizes me. <br />We're enjoying summer vacation here with many fun projects. Even though we're mostly outdoors this time of year, still plenty of Lego activity going on, too. :)<br />Hope you all have a wonderful break!amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.com
