Quilting much? I am ALWAYS working on something…just nothing to show for it! My stack of Homespun Houses is growing…and my hand quilting on the Wee Basket Quilt is slow…I’m not even half way finished but the quilt is so soft and cuddly, I enjoy the warmth as I stitch it in the cooler evenings! And the Tumbler Quilt sits at my machine waiting for more rows and I have downloaded a new audio book…SEW it’s all good…
The only thing that I CAN show you isn’t all that exciting for you…but for me, it is VERY exciting! I just finished Free Motion Quilting an actual usable quilt!! OK…it’s a panel and it’s a charity quilt BUT it’s stitched from top to bottom… 
It’s quilted with Loopty-Loops and half daisies (like in the border of the panel).
I am happy with the Loops….
Not so much with the half daisies…
And I figure a baby isn’t going to be too critical…especially under this soft, cozy flannel backing!
It’s a win, win for me! Heritage Quilting Guild is going to supply me with charity baby quilts and I will continue to practice! I’ll keep you posted!
Have a FUN Friday and Happy Quilting!~P
Paulette I think you have done an impressive job of quilting for your first try. With all the practise you'll get quilting the charity quilts you'll be a pro in no time! Happy quilting.
