A picture says a thousand words………
I finished this last night. I feel a great sense of accomplishment, not so much because I completed a project, but because I pushed myself through something that was holding me back. I procrastinated because I have never machine quilted anything before. In fact, it has been quite awhile since I have sewn anything patchwork. When I started quilting I handquilted everything. So this has been a learning experience for me. And a time to revisit things that I learned, and had forgotten I learned!
Here is a closer look at the stitches.
I still need to make a label to sew on the back, but I’ve decided to wait until the baby is born so that I can add the birthdate. She is due this month, so it should be soon.
Now I am ready to move on to more difficult projects, I have a couple in mind. And I am motivated to finish a couple more projects that I have also been procrastinating on. I see other machine quilting in my not so far future!
I want to wish all Mother’s a wonderful day filled with joy and happiness!
Thanks for stopping by!















Good for you! It’s a beautiful quilt.
It’s always difficult to move outside our comfort zone but when we do – we wonder why it took so long! You’re coin quilt is wonderful and I see more machine quilting in your future! Congratulations!
Wow, it looks fantastic! You should be proud of your accomplishment! I am so envious because I have been wanting to learn to machine quilt lately too, and have been procrastinating. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hope you had a great Mother’s Day, and have a great week ahead.
