At Last

My quilt is finished. Hopefully off to the quilter tomorrow. Not shown is an eleven inch aqua batik border. I've named this one Starry Night. This quilt had so many issues. Since I designed it, not everything fit perfectly and the finish work took FOREVER. When I finish a quilt, I feel like I never want to see the dumb thing again. That is definitely true for this one. But by the time I get it back from the quilter, I'll be happy with it again. Hopefully any errors remaining can be quilted out. Cross my fingers and pray.

So. I didn't sleep last night. Not one wink. Sometimes ideas just rush at me and all I can do is go with it. I'd love to let you in on them, but you'll just have to wait. Just let me say there are some big surprises in store for the future. How exciting!

Now I'm exhausted. Todd is in the harvest field and I am going to bed.

Love, Melissa
