I Finished Something!

It's about time that I got something finished! I've had the top and the back done for this quilt for at least 3 months now. It's just been sitting there, begging for me to quilt and bind it! So the other day, with a million other things I should have been doing, I pulled it out and began quilting it. I was about half way done when I ran out of thread. I went to Broadbents the next day and got more thread and finished it up! Take a look, I absolutely LOVE it!





I used Moda's Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey. I saw this material and had to have it last year at the quilt shop hop! I used Mary Cottage Quilts' Crossroads pattern. I loved every minute of making this quilt, from start to finish. I have to say sometimes after I finish the top, or I've quilted it, I just wanted it to be done. But this one I thoroughly enjoyed the whole way through. Mary, from Mary's Cottage Quilts, was actually at our quilt guild the night I brought the top of this to show off. It was a little intimidating, but she said she loved it!

I'm so glad to have one of my projects done! I'm working on a few others. I'm hoping this year will be a HUGE year of completion and closure for me! Here's to 2010!

Quilting Class

Thanks to Ammie for giving me a great present for my birthday! We are going to take a class at Broadbents in April! I am so excited to learn how to quilt my own quilts-on my own machine! It will save a lot of money too! My cute husband gave me the foot that I need for my sewing machine, so now I am all set to go! I have watched a lot of tutorials and videos on how to do it, but now I get to take a class! I am so excited!
