Finally a finish!

Yay!! I finished quilting the Moda 9 patch yesterday and just have to handsew the binding down. Here it is:



It measures in at about 66.5" x 90.5" and is actually called "Sweet Menagerie" 9 patch quilt and can be found here:

I really love how this turned out and it will be a nice addition to my slowly growing pile of Christmas quilts. Hopefully I can get that iced tea out of it! Thank goodness for the Christmas quiltalong which got me finally quilting this!

Now that I have this finish, I feel like a weight has been lifted off me and I hopefully can get some more things done. I do have gardening to do today while it is sunny out. I was hoping for a rainy day so I could get more sewing in, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do! I am sure I can squeeze some sewing in. Hub is gone for the day and the kids will be gone most of the day, also. That just leaves Patrick and I and that is a nice quiet day!

Well, will try to update as the day goes along. Lots to do and too little time to do it!

  4. It looks great, well done on the finish (and fingers crossed the iced tea comes out, what a disaster!). It's pouring with rain here today, perfect sewing weather, I'm going to crack on with my Glace quilt too!

  5. That looks absolutely beautiful. It's raining here too, and I have no other plans/commitments, so I'm off to sew too.
