Don’t get me wrong — I enjoy the quilting portion of making a quilt. Still, before doing the fun free-motion part, a certain amount of stitching in the ditch is necessary to stabilize the quilt and prevent the layers shifting. That part is sort of boring, IMHO. But that’s the part I’ve been working on lately. The good news is that I’m coming down the home stretch and will then be able to begin the free motion — much more fun!

I listen to audio books while doing tedious chores, including stitch in the ditch!
I do a similar thing, Susan — either a good podcast to listen to or a recorded episode of some TV show that doesn’t require much actual watching. LOL!
Even though under construction, your quilt is gorgeous, Sandy! So good to have an interest in which the journey is enjoyable and which culminates in beautiful work.
Thanks, Pam! I definitely enjoy the journey! 🙂
