Still Quilting

Still quilting and also smoking a bison roast and some (hopefully) great spicy beans.

The quilting is going slow.  I hike, bike, kayak, run or walk first.  We go exploring.  I blog.  I work on my photographs.  I read books.  I mostly just quilt while watching TV now.  It is a very sedentary, though very relaxing activity and I am trying to get more exercise and do things.  And adding to that, this quilt is going very slow because it is a twin bed size and I am trying to hand quilt it with tiny, neat, straight stitches.  And a lot of them.
My basting stitches are the large dark ones.  The hand stitching on the back looks like this.  I have started in the center and work towards the long ends, and am continuing to work outward. 

T-Shirt quilt - University of Maryland Theme

 T-Shirt quilt I made for my daughter with her University of Maryland era T-shirts. I loved doing machine quilting on this and had fun going...
