Hello Everybody
As you will have seen from an earlier post that I have been busy purchasing new stock and setting up panels for quilting, mainly because I need the practice. However, I have not neglected the Pirate Quilt so here are some photos of my progress. The corner is quilted using Gutermann Col.111 and the waves are quilted using Aurifil 50/2 Col.1148. The rope design on the sand area (see previous photos) is quilted using Gutermann Col.4014 a variegated thread. I don’t have a preference on thread at the moment being new to quilting but if anyone has a favourite weight or make of thread then let me know.
Still a long way to go.
Bye for now

well done for being brave and trying out different quilting techniques & threads. I belonged to a patchwork club about 8 years ago, where ladies wanted everything done by hand, so I obliged, but I much prefer piecing and quilting on the machine.

I have only hand pieced and quilted and for years relied on Quilting Thread bought at Joanns, American Quilting Thread, 100% glaced cotton. Recently bought and using Essential from Connecting Threads (google ~ find on line) discovered them from reading others blogs. I think whatever your comfortable using works. Your quilt is really cute and your stitching looks great.
