RE: Needlework Monday - Our Little Big Adventure in Kansas! Part 1
So cool! I could see myself getting a tabletop loom before ever investing in a larger machine. Did you enjoy using it when you did? What items did you make?
Lol smart lady you are! It is so addicting being in those stores. When I walk in I feel like kicking off my shoes and grabbing a cup of coffee lol! Watercolor quilts sound pretty fun!
I enjoyed the tabletop loom more than the bigger loom. The big one was a serious job to warp and my back got really tired while working at it. And I was a teenager at the time - I suspect I'd get a lot sorer now. I've made various runners and placemats with it, including one that's currently on my sideboard. I should wash it and take a picture for a Needlework Monday sometime. ;)
Watercolor quilts are seriously fun! You have to collect all kinds of great material first and when it comes to laying it out I can get totally absorbed for hours, to the point where I can't hear anything else that's going on. Which is why I won't make another until the kids are older. Too much potential for catastrophe...
Thank you so much for that review, it was really helpful. My back is definitely not the strongest these days and from what you described I would definitely get tired too. This confirms what I thought, I would buy the table loom first.
Lol that is very smart of you to wait till the kids are older to take up watercolor quilts! I can imagine how you could get totally absorbed in such a project.
