At last my final quilted swap is finished and off on its journey via the postal service. I used perle cotton to hand quilt it (the center and first two borders were made by others in the swap). I can't show the entire little quilt so that its owner will have some surprise when she opens up the package.
This took me so much time to do. Not so much actual time spent working on it, although it did take more than doing some channel quilting by machine. No, it's more that I couldn't squeeze enough time in the day to get to it. But I'm glad of it because the cause for my time crunch is a new job! Yay!
I've been fortunate to land a job doing layout for a magazine. And what's more, they have absolutely no problems with me taking time off to go to the races every couple weeks. Isn't that great! Plus I get to use my computer design skills. So hang on while I figure out my new schedule. I have a few other things to show you soon.
A job! Congratulations, and how exciting. Your quilts always make me bow in your direction, in awe and deference to a gifted quilter.
