I finished appliqueing Mr. Hockey man onto the top of the quilt! I spent all day yesterday getting the back ready and then sandwiching the quilt together with pins. I don't mind telling you that my fingers were a bit sore by the time I was done. But that's O.K., because I'm another step closer to having him done! :0)
Here he is! Laying on the kitchen table, all pinned and ready to be quilted! I hope my quilting will be straighter then my pinning lines!! LOL!!
Hey, look at that! If you look in the background of this picture you will see another project I have been working on. Yes, I do have more than one project going on at a time. Don't you? :0)

Karen, you handquilt it then? And what pattern will you use on Mr. Hockey?
ReplyDeleteThose photos are so neat, the view of the pins.
ReplyDeleteYour hubby is going to be so surprised. I don't know how you can keep it secret.
Karen, Mr Hockey man is absolutely amazing. You are so clever.
ReplyDeleteWOW....how can I man not love this one! It is fantastic!! Love how we get to see all those pins!! I bet your fingers are sore..I remember those days!
ReplyDeleteLook at all those pins! That's way more than I had to use today! The quilt is gonna be great! :0)
ReplyDeleteI see you have those nice curved pins that slide easily into place ~ well, maybe it's not so easy after all of this pinning but it's gotta help! You have done some excellent work on this quilt, Karen. :-D
ReplyDeleteI commented before on your hockey player quilt. It is a wonderful "male" style quilt. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures...that top one took me a minute to work out.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that might help for future pinnings is to use a crochet hook to catch the pin as it comes through he layers. You can then lift the end up easily to close it. :o)
I believe not only your fingers are sore, what about your back?! But you're right, it is all worthwhile! I'm sure most of us work on more than just one quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredible quilt!
ReplyDeleteMy back and fingers hurt just looking at all those pins!
yf,

Wow, that is a wonderful quilt. Making the quilt sandwich and the pinning are the worst part for me. Congratulations on finishing that part!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
