I'm excited to have this quilt finished and to share all I have learned from this project. It is the first time I have machine appliqued and I think I got fairly good at it :0). I did my birth date 1-3-53 in thread painting which I have never tried before.....I did okay but not as well as I would have liked. Lastly some machine quilting. I made pumpkin seeds ,swirls and flowers, did some echo quilting and on the outside border some straight line quilting. And I got it finished before I turn 62!
I want to thank Randy and Lori for this terrific sew along and inspiring me to mark my 60th year.
Happy Sewing, Kim
