I managed to meet and even exceed one of my goals for the last week. I really wanted to finish the quilting on this Beginner's Luck quilt. I did that, and I am almost done sewing on the binding.
I used a light aqua thread and stitched in the ditch. It made me realize that I really don't like stitching in the ditch. It matters if you go off the lines. With free motion quilting, its a lot more forgiving. I'm going to focus on the positive though, and take delight in the fact that I'm not perfect. It's much more fun that way.
Anyway, I am super happy that its done because I started sewing this quilt before Christmas I think. I was planning on having it done by the end of January, so that I could run a Quilting 101 evening class this spring.
That didn't really work out, but it will be offered for the end of May through June. More details to follow when I get some good pictures of my completely finished project.
I also have some other fun stuff to share that will be coming to this blog very soon.
What have you finished lately?

I love the look of the aqua thread for your quilting. What a great idea. I am way too stodgy with choices like that. I need to step out of the box. Thanks for the idea.
Such pretty colors!
Okay I LOVED how you used the Amy Butler fabric as the border! And your stitching in the ditch is immaculate! LOVE it!
