Hello All
Wouldn't you know it. I thought that everything on the quilt was done, the house was cleaned, the kabobs were skewered, and we were waiting around for the next three hours until everyone arrived. Ack! No hanging sleeve on the back of the quilt when I went to wrap it. In to the sewing room, no chair to sit in since it was out at the table now, standing up sewing a sleeve, iron it quick, throw the quilt out on the floor, line up and pin the sleeve in place, madly hand sew for the next 45 minutes, refold, then wrap, whew, two hours to go. So now it was really done, except for those that are out of town in far-flung places like Japan and Mali that will be back this summer to write notes on fabric that I will then sew on to the back for Deb some time in August.
We had a really nice time with everyone really relaxing and lots of food and cake and laughs. What more could you ask for. As with any of my self-designed quilts, I always seem to have a vision in my head and what evolves comes out completely different. Overall I'm pleased but aren't we often our worst critics. So, here's the link. I know that there are a few dead links here and there. Not quite sure how to fix them since Bert has been handling most of this lately. Enjoy.
