First on my plate is to complete Erinn's baby quilt. The mystery is solved, Baby Wren Louise made her grand entrance on the day after Thanksgiving and she is quite the beauty. I have no doubt she will love my heartfelt creation, and her mother is one that I know will appreciate it. I surrendered my quilt top from class to the skilled hands of the ladies with the long arm and that quilt will be quilted professionally before Christmas. But for Baby Wren's quilt, I knew the design I wanted to quilt would be able to be done by my cheapo Singer Simple (looking at getting a new machine from my parents for Christmas).
So without further ado, here are some progress shots of how the quilting is coming. I've done more since these photos were taken, but so far I'm very proud of myself. It's looking MUCH better than the futile attempt I made a few years ago, someday I'll get around to showing off that piece of work...

I am so in love with this project, I almost don't want to give it away, especially considering I've literally put my blood, sweat, and tears into it. Quilting is definitely a labor of love!
that looks professional!! it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm so glad you like it! My machine finally died last night, I was in disbelief that the old clunker had made it this far into the project. But my parents are getting me a new machine for Christmas and it should be in tomorrow so I should be able to complete it before the shower.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you had a blog!
