So far this week, I’ve tried three new things.
The first is Robert Kaufman’s Quilter’s Linen (not real linen, just cotton look-alike). I ordered several colors just to give them a try.
And then I started making some granny square blocks. I actually have 12 done at this point. I am aiming to make 20 for a small quilt and Bea has already claimed this one.
I also bought some Presencia hand quilting thread that was shipped today. I might either try using the size I bought in my machine as the top thread (not in the bobbin) or possibly doing some hand quilting which I have never tried for outline quilting in this granny square quilt.
I have another new non-quilty thing I tried this week…I got my super-long hair cut. I donated a 12-inch braid to Locks of Love. This new haircut feels light, breezy, and very liberating. I love it!
