oh, that's me!
Tonight I spent a few hours quilting the front and back of Lindsay's quilt!
Here is how it all went down:
I layed out my backing and taped it to the floor so that there was no slack...
pinning and pinning and pinning the night away...
cutting away the excess...
threading my machine and filling up bobbins...
and now lots and lots of quilting, and broken needles, and threading and re-threading said needles...
the amazing front of the quilt...
and the lovely lovely back of the quilt...
Pretty stinking amazing if I do say so myself :)
The rest of this weekend will be dedicated to the binding so I can ship this baby out on Monday (hopefully)!! I only know how to do binding by hand sewing it on so it tends to take a little while longer for that step. I'm ok with that though because it ends up looking sooo much nicer that way!!
Ok, (yawn) it's time for me to read a bit and then head to bed for the night!
night loves!
