Hi, everyone! Thanksgiving was wonderful this year. Daniel and I spent it with my mom and her two beagles. It was a quiet, low-key day of watching movies and playing games. Then yesterday I got a phone call from my long-arm quilter letting me know that I had quilts ready to pick up, yay!!! I love those phone calls. She did a beautiful job and made my substandard quilting skills less noticeable. I am giving this quilt to my mother-in-law for Christmas. She doesn't read my blog, so I'm in no danger of spoiling the surprise. Of course, I haven't put the binding on yet, so you will have to use your imagination:
I was inspired by this
quilt, which I thought was so lovely, so I improvised a pattern. I can't wait to bind it and wrap it up! This quarter in grad school, I had over 2,000 pages to read for my Victorian Lit class. I figured, for the novels I won't be writing my term paper on, I could listen to some of them on
Audible while I'm quilting!!! So I read/listened to Mill on the Floss by George Eliot while quilting this quilt. Great book!
Hi there! I don't know how I missed your last post, considering this is on my own blog roll! Sheesh. I LOVE this quilt-it is so pretty and looks warm and snuggly. Your MIL will love it, too. You got skills, girl. :-)
ReplyDeleteOn the last post--yay for homestudy completion! Also, I attempted to learn to knit. To no avail. Scary how un-crafty I am--ah, well.
Glad you had a good weekend!
