Well hello, everyone! If you are new to my little neck of the woods, I welcome you and hope you will stay a little bit.
This is my first time hosting TGIFF and thank goodness I had a finish to share with you.
I allowed this sweet little baby quilt to become a UFO. She originally started out life to be used as a class sample for teaching a class on my and David's (my quilty husband) Star Blossom Quilt at a local quilt shop.
After the class was over, her bits and pieces made their way with me to a weekend retreat at my friend Julie's (Pink Doxies) and she became a cute little quilt top.
And then her story ends, November 17, 2017. I neatly folded her up and stuffed her in the back room. How sad.
Fast forward to now. I'm trying to get a long arm my uncle purchased up and running correctly. Feeling pretty certain I had the tension issues worked out to an expectable level, I decided to jump in with both feet and work on a real quilt. So on the frames she went.
I decided on an over all edge to edge design of loops. I'm a beginner, you know. Every thing went pretty smoothly until the end. There seems to be an issue with the machine but we are working on it.
I did have some weirdness in the borders. I'm chalking it up to my first time doing this.
But for my first time trying, I'm pretty proud of it. She's not a show quilt, but hopefully she will be a loved quilt.
I just love this soft lavender background. Lots of little flowers for those butterflies on the front.
Hopefully, we will have the long arm, buzzing again soon. This quick and easy finish has me itching and begging for another one.
How about you? What finishes are you celebrating today? Link up below and tell us all about it.
Before you leave I'd like to tell you a little more about me, every Saturday I host a linky party called UFO Busting to celebrate our works in progress and finished UFO's. You'll find I'm very lenient in my definition of a unfinished object, so I hope you will come back sometime and party with us again. I also have a mystery quilt along that has just started called Fireburst Mystery Quilt.
You can find more information about it here. Thanks again for stopping by for TGIFF. I hope we will see you again soon.
