One of the things I never visualized myself doing was piecing a quilt by hand. Then I discovered Inklingo. It's an ingenious system for printing the patterns on the fabric using your ordinary printer. Snip, snip, cut them out. Love it. Every piece perfect and marked for sewing. Now I'm addicted. Sewing by hand is so peaceful and relaxing; the feel of the thread between my fingers...ahhhh.
The first thing I've "inklingoed" are these stars. Getting those points matching perfectly...? So much easier with this system. Today I started the next step of adding the frame around the star. More pointy joins but still no huge problems. I figure I'll get better as I go along. It is so lovely to have this little project to pick up in spare minutes and see something grow. I have my printed and cut out pieces in a lovely little handmade basket my friend Tee Bayless sent me. Handy dandy.
