finally done

what can i say?

i am so excited that this quilt is done

it was a Christmas quilt for papaya last year

made it under the tree with no binding

and for many reasons, i haven't found the time to sit down and sew the binding on

this weekend proved the perfect weekend to finish it

we had a glorious Thanksgiving Monday with nothing on the agenda

so i sat in the sun and stitched til it was done

papaya waited eagerly, she has been so patient for it these last 10 months

she was absolutely thrilled when it was done

we had to nail her down to the spot for the picture

then she bounded all the way up to her room and remade her bed

daddy (aka "the big cheese") also hung a shelf above her bed

this shelf has been waiting for longer than the quilt

and is now adorned with her Webkinz (yes they have bought into marketing...ugh!)

this is a close up of the finished quilt

totally different fabric and colours than I usually pick

but the girls really like it

this story is a little bittersweet

see, i made two of these quilts

same pattern, same size, just a slightly different take on fabric

so essentially i have one down and one to go

but what's new? i will always a project, or two or three on the go

life doesn't feel complete without it
