Title: So....I finished a quilt today.....
Post by: BEG on March 26, 2008, 04:29:01 PM
Well I didn't totally finish it, I still have the binding and label to do.  I did all the quilting this afternoon.   :hyper:  I must confess, there was a thread started over at CU about quilts and I posted the pictures there as well.   This is for my step-dad's sisters birthday.


I think because I had the door open it screwed up the coloring of this picture.

The next three pictures are more true to color.

I thought you said "I finished a Guilt today."

I was looking to see who you were quoting from the DUmp.

Lovely work BTW.

The pattern of the quilt top (the fabric) or the quilting pattern (as in the stitching)?

That's a very nice piece of handiwork, BEG.  I love things that people create with their own hands.

Did you have any help doing it?  You know what they've been saying about quilters an' all.  :o

Just sayin'.

Maybe we should start a poll. Men do you prefer Easy or Cheap?

Hi BEG!  You know I am a huge fan of your quilts, each one is a reflection of your artistic expression.

In the top picture, I also like that smaller quilt at the top...is that a lap quilt? (The brown one) I was also shocked to notice a couple of crumbs on it.  :p

Gorgeous!!! You have a gift dear!

I love your home too. You've shared some pics before and I can remember how pretty your house looked.

BEG, that's a beautiful quilt.  Really, just very very pretty.  It a really neat skill that you have.  I wish I could do things like that.  I know how to sew, but just like regular sew things together, and crochet.


BTW, my birthday's in September.  :)

I LOVE that, especially the colors (I like purple  :p), and I also love that pattern.

You are very talented.  I don't have the patience to sew  but am grateful for people who do.
