Apparently this poor guy got into a nasty fight.
Now I'm back down to 3 projects in progress. I finished the wedding quilt for John and Regina and presented it to them Saturday night.
They were both excited by the gift. It seems, though, that they were expecting something much smaller. Regina commented that this would not fit on a wall. I told them it was theirs to do with as they like. I've never had a quilt recipient look over a quilt as closely as they did. It made me a little nervous.
I guess I'm out of practice in machine quilting because this quilt gave me all kinds of problems on the free motion quilting - needles breaking, thread breaking, thread bunching up. I have one large quilt that I will machine quilt in the coming year, so I guess I will get more practice there. Perhaps I need to plan a smaller quilt to do free motion quilting on before tackling a larger quilt so I can get practiced up.
I also finished the socks for DD for Christmas.
This was a more complicated patter than I usually do, but again, once I was practiced on the stitches, it went OK. I love the texture and will probably make a pair for me in the future.
I still am working on Scrapitude, the hand piecing for my purse and hand quilting the charity quilt. So, I guess I'm down to 3 projects. I won the block of the month block at my guild in December. I really like he pattern and was hoping to win these.
It will make a really bright and cheery quilt. I just found out that a family friend is expecting, so I think this will turn into a baby quilt for her. That is project #4 right now.
Merry Christmas! I hope this finds you all happy, healthy and enjoying the day.
