Taking a Break

Still working on the RRCB.  I have all sides trimmed and have my inner border sewn on 3 sides.

I checked my email and found a couple of questions regarding quilting with pearl cotton.

You can find pearl cotton where they sell embroidery floss.  It is sold in balls.  I use #8.  You need to use a larger needle as the pearl cotton is much thicker than thread.

I make a slightly larger stitch.  Practice helps you to decide the size you are comfortable with.  I think is adds to the folk art look of my quilt.

Hope this helps with any questions.   Hugs, Cat
