(mostly you will ruin your surprise, which will be sad.)
I want this to be a surprise...can you tell?
So......
After picking peoples brains, a bag of
Cadburry eggs, and almost losing an eye I finished baby Bobby's quilt! At one point the needle broke and hit me in the eye...can you say special? After that Cache busted out his most stylish pair of safety glasses ,with sincere concern, insisted that I wear them. God bless him for having to deal with the most uncoordinated and accident prone wife! I had so much fun making this quilt I have about 6 others planned. We'll see when I burn out since I tend to do this. I get all excited about something but I never turn it into a long term hobby I just move on and find something different or end up watching an unhealthy amount of T.V.. I never would have finished this quilt if it hadn't been for Tami and the ladies at Material Girls fabric store. Tami was able to answer all my questions that made no sense at all and give me answers( how she made since of what I was asking or explaining is beyond me!) And the Ladies at Material Girls made me feel like I could quilt a mountain if I wanted to. I was convinced that I would end up having someone else quilt the blanket for me but after talking to them I was an inch taller and full of confidence. I questioned there suggestion shortly after starting but I made it through. I would also like to thank god and my directors, but most of all I want to thank my fans......Just kidding I started to feel like I was giving an
acceptance speech. Can you tell I have had to much coffee?
Here is the final result.....
After all was said and done the final test was the washing machine. I kept my fingers crossed the whole time. I was terrified that I would open the lid and it would be a tangled we of string. Lucky for the washing machine it did no harm. I think it could sense my penetrating nerves and knew better than to mess with me.
Looking good right? This look is my Sunday best....don't be jealous. I bet you are wondering where I managed to quilt this in our tiny apartment. Lets just say the place is covered in thread and fabric! The whole time I think this made Cache tense which would explain why he kept the Dustbuster at hand. I swear he is the character of of Wallie that is constantly vacuuming.
