FINISHED

Sometimes projects actually get completed.  Ten years of thought and old blue jeans stored in the closet finally becomes a quilt-

then a nacho blanket-

and a movie night blanket-

and now it’s temporarily on Tate’s bed while his quilt is washed.  It’s the first quilt I tied instead of quilting, which was easy but took a little longer than I thought.  Not long in hand quilting world, but long enough for two late nights watching 30 Rock. 

And in fact, two things were finished this week.  The second was a new dress for Holly-

These pictures were from the final try on right after I finished the last stitches.  Waiting for Sunday morning to try to get a picture seemed…foolish.  And by foolish I mean impossible.

Showing off the light blue lining-

Something really interesting was happening off to the side…something with Tate and Rush that at the time (about four hours ago) I thought I would remember when I typed this up.  Whatever it was, that thought is gone now.
