"sew" done!


We have had a beautiful weekend...
sunny and warmer temperatures.
Spent some time outside yesterday working
on some projects.
 
But, today I was determined to finish something
at my sewing machine.
If you remember, I went to a quilting class back in August.
That's what got me interested in quilting.
Well, the quilt I started at that class had gotten
put aside so I could make one for the grandson.
Then the holidays came and then I made one for my friend.
Last night, I pulled it out and while I was watching the Olympics
I finished stitching it.
Today, I put the binding on...
 


 
It was a difficult pattern for a beginner. I would have
given up on it if it had not been for my sweet friend, Danna.
She came over to help me with the piecing and she
encouraged me to finish it.
My plan is to hang it...I have a piece of wall
that needs something!
 
I feel good about finishing it...
there's something to be said for persevering!! :-)
