GO FOR IT

Finally. Finally. I finally just quilted it.  I have had this star quilt top done for probably 3 years. I didn't want to pay someone to quilt it, but I didn't have the courage to do it myself...until this weekend.  I finally just decided to GO FOR IT!!!  It actually turned out great!! 

Note to self:  Keep Calm and Quilt On!!


My Rebecca is unlike her Mother. She sees something she wants to make, reads the patttern and makes it--no doubts involved. She whipped up this darling cover for her iPad.  Isn't it cute?
 I need to take courage lessons from her.

A door hanger I finished as well.
This one didn't worry me, I just have had too many other projects as of late. 
I am glad I finished it before Christmas so it can hang on the door for a month or two.
I am teaching a class tomorrow at my quilt group. I will share the pattern and the project next time.
Something fun....I have been eating candy corn and salted peanuts together for a little snack. Those two together taste like salted nut roll--delish!!  Happy Fall---well ,almost!!
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Julie,

Your quilting pieces are lovely as usual! Love all those colors!

And your snack sounds like something I'd do....love sweet and salty together. Now I'm wanting some! :)

Enjoy your day!

Bravo!
It surprised me to read that you didn't think you had the courage to quilt. You did a beautiful job, and everything I've seen of your handiwork projects, are gorgeous!!

Have a great day!!

Love that big star quilt and the Autumn banner!! They are both awesome. And your daughter did a fantastic job on her cover. :) Thanks for the tip on candy corn and peanuts---I'm definitely going to try this. :)

Great job on the quilting, Julie! I have a few biggies to tackle here and am slowly working up to it. I think I can... I think I can...

Just had to let you know that I made that big star quilt as one of my first quilts, at least 20 years ago and still have the pattern, have no idea where the quilt is though. You did a wonderful job, love the prim colors.
