The big one is done!

I put the last stitch in Emily's quilt yesterday morning. It took me about 4 hours to hand stitch the binding but the results are worth it. Here's a photo of the quilt (Thanks to my very tall boss!) The color is a little distorted as the purples are showing up darker than they really are.

The second photo is a close up of the quilting. I FM's it on the long arm. The design is just loops and hearts but I think it came out really nicely and I am very excited about giving it to my granddaughter...at last!

I only need to finish hand stitching about 14" on the binding of Brian's quilt so I am only 2 labels away from the finish! I can't believe that I will have everything done and ready by this weekend and I don't leave for Virginia for another week. I am usually one of the world's greatest procrastinators. I am amazing myself!

  3. Way to go! You must feel so happy to have them ready. We're leaving for England in two weeks and I still have the binding to finish on the wedding quilt. Yikes!

  7. Your granddaughter will be proud! Who knows - she might even sleep better using it. Speaking of sleeping better - perhaps you should use it. I know what you mean by crazy sleeping problems...as sometimes I experience them too.
