there's something about sending a quilt off to the quilters that makes me nervous...
i think it's because i'm sending off my creation to be interpreted by someone else. what if they don't see the same vision???
that's what happened the last time i got a quilt back from the quilters... it's just not the way i envisioned it. the pieced blocks bulge slightly and the stitching is off. there are two horizontal lines across the bottom of the blocks and none on the top. i hate to spend the money to have it professionally quilted, just to have to fix it. i think that's why it's taken me so long to get around to finishing this one.
my goal for the weekend is to finish the console table (if it wasn't -21 out i think i would have checked that one off the list already. i'm just having a hard time bringing myself to the garage to sand off the legs...) and finish up this quilt.
if i can check these off the list, i think i'll be feeling pretty good! WHAT'S on your TO DO list for the weekend?

I have a few projects in the que right now. Thankfully I was able to check of. . .sewing on merit badges and finish binding a Valentine's wall hanging quilt. Yeah. Now for the big project: finish hanging beadboard and trim in the mudroom/ hallway. Here's hoping it warms up a bit so it's not so uncomfortable working the garage!
My to do list is to start Aaron's quilt. I wanted to have it finished for his birthday, but that didn't happen. I didn't even start it for his birthday. oops
