The big day has come!

Well today is the day when my SIL gets married! For the past few weeks its been event after event, planning and more planning.  In the nights I've been working to finish the quilt that will be their wedding present.  Finally its binded and waiting for me to sit for a few hours and finish.  I can't wait.  

Quilt before I trimmed off the excess

I have learned so much from this quilt! I learned that I can free motion quilt on my sewing machine and it is actually a lot of fun.  I think I have perfected my use of putting on my binding, which is usually the part of the quilt that I struggle with the most.  Most importantly I learned that I have the creativity to create a quilt with just my ideas.

Up next is finishing my other baby quilt that has a deadline of a few weeks.  I am also excited because I am going to be entering a few items into our local state fair.  

Until next time,
