And I too, love reading about all the projects you have underway, in various stages, making takes time and its keeping it real for all of us. As for quilting, well I find fmq on the machine very challenging, and finding the time to hand quilt is tricky but I love adding in some big stitch hand quilting to give that handmade look to my quilts.

I think the rounded leaves speak your name.... I think Off on a Tangent is a beautiful quilt. I like the arrangement of colors in the triangle/square blocks. No worries about the green not standing out so much. It will invite whoever sees the quilt to look a little more closely -- and enjoy that much more!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-43087805130512944552018-09-29T08:34:42.240-07:002018-09-29T08:34:42.240-07:00I love the green lettering as it causes us to zoom...I love the green lettering as it causes us to zoom in a take a closer look.<br />The HST quilt is AMAZING!

Then I had surgery for trigger finger and "fine" quilting now hurts my finger. Since then I've quilted a few pieces using #8 or #12 threads and really loved the process again. Love touching my quilts for as long as possible! I've watched your quilts get even more beautiful with your quilting and know that I've gone in the right direction too. Thank you!<br /><br />However, I still do machine quilting on my domestic machine. I love the freedom of free-motion but totally understand how it is not for everyone. Keep posting, Audra ... we all love how you put into words what we are also feeling! ��Susie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983123679473675732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-1672237362869314522018-09-29T03:58:19.732-07:002018-09-29T03:58:19.732-07:00The HSTs are completely mad and completely wonderf...The HSTs are completely mad and completely wonderful, all at the same time. I like the pink row in there, it mixes things up just enough, so you have to stop and look properly instead of assuming you know what comes next, if that makes sense.

Quilting is not always a rosy finish up each week, and quilters make long term commitments to get big projects finished. That said, congratulations on just getting through the HST rounds, and don't procrastinate finishing this one up.

If mine had it, I must have missed a maintenance or two by now. I didn't know! As for the letters that are hard to read, could you highlight them somehow, maybe with dark stitching around them, or using a fabric marker to help them stand out?Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-40702064998108088042018-09-28T12:42:19.825-07:002018-09-28T12:42:19.825-07:00amazing hst medallion!

First: I love the HSTs and think the light pink rows create necessary breaks in the width. I'm not sure it would look as good without them. Congrats on staying close to the "true" measurement. I can see your hand here.<br />Second: The wavy leaves on Dried Flowers intrigue me so much. They look shaded even though I'm sure they are plain paper at this time. I can't decide whether using them all the time would look better than mixing it up but know whatever way you go will be fabulous.<br />Third: Like Anne above, I'd shade the words with paint or thread. Either on the edge of the letters or possible right outside. <br />Fourth: I quilted by hand years ago but once I switched to machine, there was no going back. Now my fingers bother me if I do much handwork so I'll probably never get into it again. Too bad because I love your quilts.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-62489084014895746912018-09-28T05:46:16.481-07:002018-09-28T05:46:16.481-07:00Yikes, that hst quilt is absolutely amazing!

I cannot throw those corners away so I sew another seam before I cut them off. The hst are small so my quilt will be small.

But my favorite is Off On a Tangent, both for the colors and the meaningful words. Have you considered outlining the letters in some way, maybe embroidery or piping for example? I did that once by hand-stitching a chain stitch with 6 strands of floss around the shapes. The texture created a far better effect than it ever would have had if I'd gotten the contrast right at the start.<br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036950955976620955noreply@blogger.com
