The amazing, long anticipated quilt:
IS DONE!!! (cue music: dun, dun, DUN)
YAY!!! It’s only Thursday night, and I’m DONE!! {Slaps the chess timer like a Grand Champion!} Woo hoo for me! On budget, (only because Sheryl bought everything and gave it to me, but whatever), and before deadline! That part’s all ME!!
I must say: it’s the very first quilt I’ve ever made that I pieced both back, and front. Very unusual, but twice as nice!
I will never forget them, myself! Once I invest blood, sweat and tears into a quilt, it’s part of me for life!
[Well, not real blood, not this time. I have sewed my finger with the machine needle before. How ever did my fat finger fit under there, when I have a hard time fitting 2 layers of material, with batting?????]
Hearty congrats Melinda…that’s lot of hard work put by you. :-).
