Happy St.Patrick's Day!
It's very quiet in our house this morning,
even though all the children are off school:)
They decided a lie in was needed!
I have something green to share with you
on this the greenest day of the year!
Ok, not very Irish!
I was reading some other quilting blogs recently and came across someone who reccommended gardening/working gloves as an alternative to proper - made for the purpose - quilting gloves. I ran off to our nearest hardware store and purchased these, not the height of fashion, but they are super for free motion quilting. They're also a lot cheaper than the conventional quilting gloves:)
I have no idea what the true purpose of these gloves are, but they are coated with a bubbly rubber surface on the palm side and a knitted fabric on the back.
Bobbins at the ready, I'm all set to go!
You purchased probably the best gardening gloves I have ever worn. The green rubbery fabric protects your hands from thorns when pruning roses and the knit fabric on the back allows your hands to "breathe" in the glove.
ReplyDeleteI wore a pair for quilting until I found a pair of "Machingers" on a clearance shelf.
