The quilting redo is progressing nicely. The cool weather has helped as this gets pretty toasty in my lap. I've been working on the edges as far as I can comfortably reach without a frame.
It's probably hard to see where my stitching is in some areas because the grooves from grandma's machine stitching remain. Hopefully they will come out when the quilt is washed.
My stitching is not precise and is fairly large, definitely not a high quality job. But I am doing this for practical reasons, not as a show piece. I truly admire those ladies that quilt with tiny precise stitches. Sadly I can't see well enough for that and would not have the patience for it anyway.
Grandma's hand stitching was similar to mine so I am happy with it.
I am almost done with the outside edges of quilting and as the weather gets hot I will use the quilting frame. That may be slower as my back doesn't like bending over it. Oh the joys of getting older.
