Hello out there

Welcome to Shakey Stitches. As a beginner quilter I decided to setup this blog so I can watch my quilting progress as I hopefully improve. I have named it Shakey Stitches as I have shakey hands, therefore my work isn't the neatest. Why do my hands shake? I'm not sure, all I know is that they do and they shake worse when I'm tired. I hope you would like to share my journey to quilt-greatness and we can share tricks and tips along the way.

I have finished my fisrt block for my clover and violet garden steps  quilt a long. I should have pressed it before I took the photo. I really like it. It's got my own shakey twist to it. Tomorrow the handstitched class starts at stitched in color . I am super excited!

My quilt is bound, washed and dried. Need I say more.  The Front  The Back   Butterfly binding!   I am sitting under it at this very moment. I would like to thank Bec from  Chasing Cottons . I used her Quilt Class 101 . It was easy to follow and I am so happy with the result. I think the class ran last year but that doesn't matter. Not too bad for a first try. xxx ooo

Bringing out the big guns!

I had decided to do a little sewing today because I was inspired by this bag  over at clover and violets. When I realised I didn't have any white thread left and my white bobbin has just ran out. I am pretty lazy when it comes to matching thread colours and usually stick to white. This was the closest I am going to get but by the time I had bobbins filled up and everything threaded I didn't have enough time to sew left. I am hoping to get some sewing done tomorrow. I hope tomorrows post will be more eventful or else it's going to be a long October. xxx ooo
