the quilt is done....finally!!

Once upon a time I started making a quilt. I was very much inspired by Heather Bailey. I found her website just randomly while cruising the internet for quilting ideas. You know how you find someone and instantly you want to be just like them when you grow up? Heather Bailey is one of those people to me. Then it all started in September here and then progressed to this this and this ....and then it became a beautiful decoration on my sewing and crafting table. Now, 10 months later, it is DONE!!

I was so excited to put it on Kate's bed!! I promise she was excited too (or else she just thought I was so funny jumping up and down that she did it too) but she's looking out the window at the rain in this picture. we've been getting a lot the last couple of days.

and here is what finally gave me the courage to finish Kate's big girl bed quilt:

Its a quilt that I helped the young women make. The activity started before I moved here but I ended up helping and I finished it yesterday. Then I was on a binding roll and just kept going!!

I am loving quilting!
