Stencil Winners

Congratulations to the winners of the free Stencil Company stencils -

  • Lauren H.
  • Pauline Simpson
  • Nancy Kennedy
  • Donna Lockwood
  • Joyce Carter
  • Debbie (from  fetchr at aol dot com) 

Winners, please e-mail me your mailing addresses so I can know where to send your free stencils.

Thanks to everyone who entered the giveaway. I wish all of you could have won some stencils. Those of you who did not win, remember that you can always order a few if you go to the Stencil Company's website. They sell stencils in all shapes and sizes but if you're mostly interested in marking small quilts, go to their Sentimental Quilter page to see some stencils I've used. When you place your order, remember to use the coupon code  SQBAUG17  to get a 20% discount. The code will be available until August 17, 2017.



Thanks for all of your sweet comments! It was so nice to read that so many of you are already hand quilting or inspired to try it. I wrote a blog post last year about needles and thread if you are interested in reading more about what I use. But, remember the bottom line -  it's all very individual. Sometimes trial and error when it comes to what needles, thread, etc. to use. What works for one may not work for you so try several different things to find your own hand quilting "groove." Quilting is a journey and when you're learning something new there can be both pleasure and frustration in the process. But, don't be afraid to try something new - it may just bring you some unexpected delight. 


     Have a great weekend!

I didn't win, but with the discount they offered, decided to go ahead and get some stencils anyhow. Have an upcoming trip and will be taking hand work, so these will be perfect!

Thanks very much. Congratulations to the winners!

Good for you six lucky quilters. Kathy always make me think more about hand quilting. I have a crooked index finger and stiffness in my hands from arthritis but I like the look. I am liking combination hand and machine too. Remember that no quilting is perfect as there are no rules.....no set distances.....that is set by the size of quilt, the visual need by you the quilter to highlight the patchwork design, we all like different amounts of quilting. The extra plus of mini's is that it isn't as crucial to support your small quilt as in larger quilts that have fabric weight requiring support and stability.

Kathy's blog is always a good source for stitching ideas. As are the pictures in Yahoo group and on Facebook group pages. I am on a "buy little" budget tight now. But the stencil sale is calling me.....darn Kathy......

Jane who is having A Jane Day doing fun things.....
