Golf Balls and Twirly Balls


I've finished stitching in the ditch on my twirly ball project and have started doing some outline stitching using my walking foot.  As I work father out from the center, I’ll move from my Janome to my Handiquilter.  I think the first stitch is always the hardest.  Once started, these projects usually gain momentum. 



We get lots of golf balls in our yard.  This probably is about a third of what we had accumulated.  I took these to the gathering of quilters I sew with every Tuesday.  One of our members is a golfer and she gladly took them off my hands.  If she digs deep enough in the bucket she will even find a pink one.

Yes, sometimes the first stitch is the hardest for me to take. Once I commit the project gets done faster. your golf bucket treat is so good one!

You must live on/near a golf course? My Dad always searched for golf balls in his course's pond ... as a child of the Depression, he was always on the hunt for a bargain ... and free golf balls was too much of a bargain for him to pass up. And he enjoyed getting out early in the morning, when the course was empty ... so nice and peaceful.
