Is it just me or has this blogging business got more complicated?Or less complicated?Has anyone noticed differences I should know about?Meanwhile...I have kept myself busy making a log cabin quilt.I saw one draped across the foot of the bed in a popular TV show that inspired me. The block placement looked quite random. Got carried away and did another one!
A large proportion of the fabric and thread were "donations" (and these are both BIG quilts)
I have hand quilted them with Wonderfil Spaghetti thread.
It is lovely thread somewhere between the thick Perle thread favoured by some and quilting thread. It is mercerised so pulls through nicely.
You can see one my favourite log cabin quilts back here
It has been comforting to have stitching to fall back on when so many around you seem to be
struggling or losing their commonsense.
Cheers for now.
Less people seemed to be engaged with the blogging platform so it's easier in that vein maybe? Blogger definitely seems more complicated than it used to be and definitely harder for people to leave comments. I love your log cabin quilts so much. There's so much joy in hand quilting on these sorts of quilts. Good for you and your lovely finishes!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow, I love these large log cabin quilts that you have made and hand quilted - it seems as if you just magically did them, but I know that they were in your lap for a very long time. Thank you for showing us. Thank you for continuing to blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree that blogging has changed a lot. There are a few of us who keep going at it, but leaving comments and following by email - it's all changed. Instagram is much faster and many people are writing quite a bit about their process on Instagram, and posting a lot of photos which I do appreciate. I like that platform as I find a lot of stimulation there, but if I want to really think about my process and my environment, I prefer to write a longer more thoughtful post on my blog.
